Fiji Women's Rights Movement

The Fiji Women's Rights Movement (FWRM) is a multi-ethnic and multi-cultural organisation based in Suva, Fiji, that works to remove discrimination against women through attitudinal changes and institutional reforms. FWRM believes in the practice and promotion of feminism, democracy, good governance and human rights.[1][2] FWRM is known for its public opposition to military rule in Fiji since the first coup in 1987,[3] and for its innovative approaches and core programmes related to intergenerational women's leadership in Fiji, particularly young, indigenous and locally-born women.[4]

In 2016, FWRM launched Girls Digital Stories, a project aimed at challenging bullying and discrimination, through the narratives of 10-12 year old girls, using storytelling and digital art.[5]
