The Fiji Women's Crisis Centre and the Pacific Women's Network Against Violence Against Women would like to congratulate the Vanuatu Women's Centre and the Vanuatu National Council of Women on the passing of the Family Protection Order Bill in Parliament yesterday afternoon.
 
This is a momentous occassion for the women of Vanuatu and a testament of the the hard work done by the women's movement in Vanuatu over the past 10 years. Kudos also the Vanuatu government for recognising violence against women as a violation of women's human rights.
