Welcome to Episode 2 of Vosa. In this episode, we focus on domestic violence against women, following the economic impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic. We have specifically chosen to share this talanoa during the 16 Days of Activism Against Gender Based Violence Campaign, which started on 25 November and ends on 10 December 2020. Please scroll down to the end for more information if you find the content of this episode distressing, or if you would simply like to know how you can help. 

Today we are joined by Reverend James Bhagwan, General Secretary for Pacific Conference of Churches in Fiji; Evonne Kennedy from the PNG Business Coalition for Women; and Yasmine Bjornum, the Founder and Executive Director of Sista Magazine, a charitable association for women and girls in Vanuatu.
