Beyond Imported Understandings of Domestic Violence in the Pacific

整个太平洋区域的家庭暴力事件频发，威胁着所有部门的增长和发展。该项目旨在调查当地对太平洋地区这一问题的原因、表现和最佳应对措施的理解。它推动了对两个最不发达太平洋岛国的当地利益攸关方对家庭暴力的看法的研究，以产生对制定政策和做法的非西方、针对具体情况的见解，以改进前线应对措施。预期成果包括建立一个证据基础，为针对家庭暴力的适当和创新对策提供信息，使大洋洲的岛民/土著社区和经济受益。

High occurrences of domestic violence across the Pacific region threatens the growth and development of all sectors. This project aims to investigate local understandings of the causes, manifestations, and best-suited responses to the problem in the Pacific. It advances a study of local stakeholder’s perspectives of domestic violence in two of the least developed Pacific Island countries to generate non-Western, context-specific insight into developing policies and practices to inform improved frontline responses. Expected outcomes include the development of an evidence base to inform contextually appropriate and innovative responses to domestic violence, with benefits to islander/indigenous communities and economies in Oceania.
