Pacific girls under the spotlight at the United Nations CRC event in Samoa

Date modified: 03 March 2020

Seventeen-year-old Anamalia Falemaka of Talitha Project in Tonga participated in the UNCRC side event in Samoa in March 2020 titled ‘A dive into the Blue Pacific’. Girls like Anamalia used the forum to share their experiences, lessons learned and innovative approaches at the international event. It was a learning opportunity for participants to exchange information, knowledge and challenges faced in the Pacific region. The side-event involved grassroots civil society organisations in the Pacific which engage with girls and acknowledge their role, agency and expertise. Committee members and development specialists exchanged information, knowledge and experience of challenges and best practices to support gender equality and girls’ human rights in the Pacific.
