Data reported for 2022 results against this indicator was obtained as part of a learning process on social norms and therefore may not accurately reflect the results obtained. Internal reviews of data collected on social norms across relevant indicators, coupled with external reviews, are informing the design of UN Women’s principled approach to social & gender norms change. This will be reflected in changes to the indicators to be introduced in the Mid-Term Review of the Strategic Plan.

The second meeting of the regional working group was held in August 2021, where representatives of the Government of Cook Islands, Federated States of Micronesia, Fiji, Kiribati, Marshall Islands, Nauru, Samoa, Solomon Islands, Tonga, Tuvalu, and Vanuatu convened to reflect common issues of concern and the status of implementation of domestic violence legislation in the Pacific region. This regional platform was an opportunity for governments to reiterate their commitment to addressing domestic violence issues and rotation of leadership from Fiji and Samoa to Samoa and Nauru as chair and vice-chair. The outcome document acknowledges the importance and the need for continuous collaboration between countries to address common issues of concern, such as the COVID-19 pandemic and the constant natural disasters that have stalled efforts to prevent domestic violence. The report also acknowledges that partners have played a key role in supporting governments and ensuring that essential services are available to survivors of violence. Advocacy efforts to increase resources available in countries to address VAWG issues continue to be made. Draft cost packages were developed to inform governments on the costs of interventions that can be implemented to address VAWG. These evidence-based tools were a result of a study on the cost of domestic violence/IPV done and capacity-building initiatives implemented in these three countries, namely RMI, Fiji, and the Solomon Islands.Disclaimer and notes
