Thematic Briefs

This series of Pacific Women Thematic Briefs provides information and analysis about key issues for women and girls in the Pacific Islands region. It has been developed by, and for, the Support Unit for Pacific Women Shaping Pacific Development (Pacific Women), connecting more than 170 gender equality initiatives supported by the Australian Government and implemented by over 160 partners across 14 Pacific Island countries.

Pacific Women is one of the largest global commitments to gender equality. It partners with governments, local and international non-government organisations (NGOs), private sector, disabled people’s organisations, coalitions and others to improve the political, economic and social opportunities of Pacific women and to end violence against women and girls. The emphasis for Pacific Women is on partnerships and locally-driven development. Pacific Women supported initiatives respond to the commitments in the 2012 Pacific Leaders’ Gender Equality Declaration, while also supporting Australia’s Pacific Step-up and its Partnerships for Recovery approach of working together with Pacific partners to address COVID-19 impacts on women, girls and their communities.
