>Abstract
>
>This seminar will discuss the results of an 
>AusAID study examining the effectiveness of 
>approaches currently being used to address 
>violence against women and girls in five of 
>Australia’s neighbouring countries: Fiji, Papua 
>New Guinea, Solomon Islands, Vanuatu and East 
>Timor.  More than 700 individuals and 
>representatives of government, civil society and 
>international organisations were involved, 
>together with experts determined to advocate for 
>change in each country.  The resulting regional 
>and country reports examine the severity and 
>causes of violence against women and outline the 
>perspectives and hopes of a broad spectrum of 
>Melanesian and East Timorese society. The 
>reports put forward a framework for action to 
>respond to violence against women in the region 
>building on local promising practices and the 
>lessons from international experience.
