In what moral universe can this be the right thing to do: the lower the life expectancy of a local area in 2010-12, the greater the cuts to government funding in the subsequent years. Was this a deliberate policy to increase health inequalities?

Hearing insights into Pacific priorities for prevention of #VAW at #WHSMelbourne2024 , hosted by CEVAW. Our region has the highest rates of gender-based violence globally, and solutions must be informed by data and women's lived experience, and address racism and colonialism.

#WHSMelbourne2024 has officially commenced with a Welcome to Country and traditional smoking ceremony by Mandy Nicholson and Djirri Djirri. An important reminder to respect and remain connected to country.

'Solidarity is only possible if it is out of respect and true trust, and this will only come from a deep knowing of one another' - Saia Ma'u Piukala, Regional Director World Health Organization (WHO) Western Pacific 🤝

🔦Session spotlight: Join @CEVAW and their Australian Indigenous, Fijian and Samoan partners and investigators at #WHSMelbourne2024 and help build a regional roadmap to end #ViolenceAgainstWomen whsmelbourne2024.com/pacific-priori…

Direct costs of #VAW in Fiji ≈ 7% GDP; in the Pacific Islands, the prevalence of intimate partner violence is more than double the global average. Share promising community-level initiatives to end VAW, and discuss how they can be scaled up to broader populations in the Pacific.
