Close to 500 SVSG Village Reps received training on the basic SVSG support services under the Village Response Project.  These Village Reps have been instrumental in referring cases to the main office, assisting Police and the Attorney General in locating witnesses for court cases, as well as accompanying victims to the main office for shelter assistances.
 
Two financial assistances from the Pacific Prevention of Domestic Violence Programme (PPDVP) catered firstly for the SVSG Village Reps retreat in Savaii to further develop their understanding of their roles and responsibilities, and secondly, to finance working bags and stationery supplies for the Reps.
