Family Protection Orders in the Pacific region

Lindy, along with colleagues at the Australian National University and the Pacific Community (SPC), co-convened a symposium on family protection orders in the Pacific region in December 2021. 

The symposium brought together experts and practitioners from the Cook Islands, Fiji, Samoa, Palau, Papua New Guinea, Solomon Islands, Timor Leste, Tonga, Tuvalu and Vanuatu.

The symposium provided an opportunity for lawyers, judges, police officers, government officials and civil society organisations to share their experiences on how family protection orders and domestic violence response systems are working across the Pacific islands.
