"In the first quarter of 2010, Fiji women have identified ECONOMIC SECURITY, ENVIRONMENTAL SECURITY, and HEALTH SECURITY as their key priorities.

The Fiji women speak of the struggle to put food on the table, the inability to afford all the costs of sending children to school, the importance of land security for homes and farming, and the inability to access medicine and health services. Many of these priorities, of course, are inter-connected...In total, 221 women's stories and responses from Labasa, Savusavu, Nadi, Ba and the greater Suva area are reflected in our findings and commentary documented through monthly interviews, the convening of monthly FemLINK "1325" Network meetings, weather watch reports, our Household Income & Expenditure Surveys, inter-generational meetings convened in Suva, as well as very personal stories and reflections written by women themselves."
