Fiji and Thailand 2009
IWDA has program partners in both Fiji and Thailand, two countries which are currently experiencing political and social turmoil. We remain in regular contact with our partners in both of these countries. In Fiji, IWDA is particularly concerned at the lack of media freedom, and the safety and security of broadcast volunteers and rural correspondents working with our partner agencies.
The government’s abrogation of the nation’s constitution effectively removes the Bill of Rights, raising serious concerns about the safety and security of citizens and the government’s commitment to meeting international human rights commitments.
Our thoughts and support are with the women, their families, and communities in both Fiji and Thailand being affected by these troubling events.
