16 Days of Activism Against Gender Violence

Day Seven: Pacific Centre for Peacebuilding

Koila Costello-Olsson, Director of Pacific Centre for Peacebuilding (PCP) talks about the organisation’s work and the 16 Days campaign:

Can you tell us a little about your organisation’s work?

Our work is in the area of peacebuilding and conflict transformation. We work with different sections of the communities in Fiji and the Pacific providing training, facilitation or counselling for individuals or groups. Our approach is gender sensitive, respectful of human rights, and we embrace the principles of non violence and restorative justice. The approaches we use also work at finding a balance between evolving and traditional processes of handling conflict and building a positive peace.

How does your organisation’s work impact women’s lives?
