Beyond Imported Understandings of Domestic Violence in the Pacific

整个太平洋地区家庭暴力的高发威胁到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、表现形式和最佳应对措施的理解。它推动了一项关于两个最不发达太平洋岛屿国家的当地利益攸关方对家庭暴力的看法的研究，以产生非西方的、针对具体情况的见解，从而制定政策和做法，为改进前线应对措施提供信息。预期成果包括建立一个证据库，为根据具体情况采取创新对策应对家庭暴力提供信息，造福于大洋洲的岛民/土著社区和经济。

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.
