Safe and Equal Futures for All: Preventing Violence Against Women and Girls in South Tarawa, Kiribati Summary

This brief shares findings from the 2019 baseline study of the Strengthening Peaceful Villages (SPV) programme in South Tarawa, Kiribati.

Conducted by Equality Institute in partnership with the Ministry of Women, Youth, Sport and Social Affairs and local partners, the study listened to the experiences of more than 1,100 women and men.

The SPV programme, adapted to Kiribati culture from the evidence-based SASA! approach, works with whole communities—women, men, youth, community and faith leaders—to prevent violence against women and girls and to support safe, healthy, and peaceful families and villages.
