UN and EU Launch Spotlight Initiative Regional Pacific Programme

In the Pacific region, the Spotlight Initiative will focus on addressing Domestic Violence and Intimate Partner Violence, working in partnership with key regional institutions and diverse partners, to address: legislative and policy gaps; strengthening institutions; promoting gender-equitable attitudes; strengthening systems of collecting data on violence against women and girls; and supporting civil society and coalitions in advocacy.

The Spotlight Pacific Regional Initiative builds on existing commitments across 16 Pacific Island countries, including the Solomon Islands,
