0 Comments

Read Now
 
​Samoa Victim Support Group is celebrating International Women’s Day 2017 by honoring the ‘Empowered Women’ the Champions of Family Violence in Samoa.
 
As part of a 2-year project with UN Women Fund for Gender Equality (FGE), SVSG through its village representatives is working with village and church leaders, to gauge support for the economic empowerment of women, with specific focus on Nofotane Women.
 
The Project targets 5,000 unemployed women to be trained on income generating skills with the aim to ensure sustainable self-employment for 500 of these women.
 
Through previous projects, SVSG had empowered women survivors of violence with disabilities in Upolu and Savaii, with livelihood skills now enabling them to be self-sufficient, through income earned from their small business activities.
 
As the world celebrates International Women’s Day 2017, SVSG President Siliniu Lina Chang congratulates all the women of Samoa, especially women survivors of violence and women at risk, who have been economically empowered through its program.
 
“Thank you to UN Women FGE for financially supporting SVSG’s work to empower the women of Samoa through skills development.  They are the Champions among us, and are congratulated for their bravery.”  Siliniu Lina Chang
 
Happy International Women’s Day to the Empowered Women of Samoa.
