The Pacific Indigenous Women’s Network (PIWN) was incorporated in 2019 whose mission is to protect and advance the human rights of indigenous women, their families and communities, in the Pacific Region through the formation of strategic alliances with other indigenous women and their regional associations. PIWN aims to facilitate projects that address cultural preservation, poverty alleviation, education, social development, justice, knowledge systems, self-determination, human security, capacity building, and other human rights related undertakings. We hope to ensure and advocate for the principle of gender equality in governmental, social, cultural, political and economic arenas, and to support and engender the participation of Pacific indigenous women in all facets of civil and political policy making and social life. The network aims to oppose all forms of violence and discrimination against Pacific indigenous women and children, such as trafficking, gender-based violence, domestic violence, and armed conflict and militarization. Lastly, the organization aims to mentor young indigenous women of the Pacific and enhance their knowledge, skills and abilities as leaders of the region.
