Violence Against Women in Melanesia and Timor-Leste
This report builds on an earlier report published in 2008 by the Office of Development
Effectiveness (ODE) of AusAID, titled Violence Against Women in Melanesia and East Timor:
Building on Global and Regional Promising Approaches. The ODE report assessed current
approaches to addressing violence against women and girls in five of Australia’s partner
countries: Fiji, Papua New Guinea (PNG), Solomon Islands, Vanuatu and Timor-Leste. Nearly
four years after the data were collected for the aforementioned report, AusAID commissioned
the International Center for Research on Women to undertake a follow-up study in preparation
for the Australia-US Pacific Women’s Empowerment Policy Dialogue: Stopping Violence
Against Women on 3-4 November 2011.
The aim of the present study was to take stock of what has happened with regard to the three
key strategies for advancing the violence against women agenda put forward by the ODE
report: (1) increasing access to justice for survivors of violence; (2) improving access and
quality of support services for survivors; and (3) promoting violence prevention. The study also
investigates a fourth strategy: strengthening the enabling environment for ending violence
against women. This report presents the research team’s findings on progress made since the
ODE report in these four thematic areas in the same five countries
