Fiji Women’s Crisis Centre (FWCC)

Safety first, dignity always. Since 1984 the FWCC has transformed national responses to gender-based violence.

Founding & key people

Established 1984 by women activists; long-time Coordinator Shamima Ali built a national and regional hub.

Why it mattered

Put evidence and survivor-centred services at the heart of policy—counselling, legal aid, and training for police and health workers.

Flashpoints & campaigns

• Landmark prevalence studies; national awareness campaigns; courtroom accompaniment for survivors.

Today

The Pacific’s leading GBV service and advocacy organisation.

Legacy

Helped Indo-Fijian and iTaukei women claim safety as a right, not a favour.
