Citizens’ Constitutional Forum (CCF)

Civics in plain language. Born in the early 1990s, CCF taught communities how constitutions work—and why rights matter.

Founding & key people

Started as a forum in 1991; incorporated in 1993. Lawyers, clergy and educators built a public classroom on democracy.

Why it mattered

After upheavals, CCF helped Indo-Fijians and neighbours reclaim citizenship as a shared project.

Flashpoints & campaigns

• Plain-English guides; court interventions; submissions to constitutional reviews.

Today

Continues civic education and rights advocacy.

Legacy

Raised the civic literacy needed to defend equality when it is tested.
