Women’s Action for Change (WAC) was founded in 1993 by a group of local feminist women who identified a need for more community-based, participatory work on gender equality issues for diverse women in Fiji.

The dream of this group was to create a sustainable community-based organisation using a wide variety of theatre and arts-based learning methods, working toward full gender equality and social justice for all.

WAC believes that work to envision and create a gender equal future necessarily includes conflict transformation, active nonviolence and peacebuilding, and always an engagement with the personal as political.

16 years on, WAC works in 12 provinces around Fiji (with limited regional and international work), using participative arts to connect with people in remote, rural and urban communities, and especially working among individuals and groups, including women and girls, experiencing intersecting forms of discrimination, marginalisation, violence and poverty.
