Kiribati Women and Children’s Support Centre.
In Kiribati, the national prevalence study shows that 68% of women experience violence by an intimate partner, almost double the global average.
I first met Teretia Tokam during the COVID lockdown as she presented the work of the Kiribati Women and Children Support centre ( KWCSC) as part of the Australian Volunteers Program Global Webinar Series.
Teretia is a lawyer and powerful voice for women’s rights in Kiribati. The KWCSC provides a vital service to women and children affected by violence, providing free confidential counselling, legal information, case management and community awareness.
