Save the Children Fiji Condemns Six-Year Failure of Justice System in Child Sexual Violence Case
Save the Children Fiji is outraged and deeply disturbed by reports that a child survivor of an alleged attempted r**e has been waiting six years for justice through Fiji’s court system. The child, who was reportedly only six years old when the alleged offence occurred, is now 13 and has chosen to walk away from the case because the system failed her. This is not justice. This is institutional failure.
A child survivor should never be forced to carry trauma for six years while courts delay proceedings, files gather dust, and government systems move at a painfully slow pace. Every adjournment, every postponement, and every administrative delay sends a cruel message to child victims — that their pain is not urgent, their safety is not a priority, and their voices can wait.
Save the Children Fiji condemns the unacceptable backlog and systemic inaction within the judiciary and relevant government agencies responsible for child protection and access to justice. The failure to resolve a serious sexual offence case involving a child for six years is disgraceful and indefensible.
We are demanding immediate action from the Judiciary, the Office of the Director of Public Prosecutions, the Fiji Police Force, and the Ministry of Women, Children and Social Protection to address the catastrophic delays affecting child abuse and sexual violence cases.
Child survivors are being retraumatised by the very systems meant to protect them.
The State has a duty to protect children — not exhaust them into silence.
Save the Children Fiji Chief Executive Officer Shairana Ali said:
“This case is a national shame. A child waited six years for justice and ultimately gave up because the system failed to act with urgency, compassion, and accountability. Justice delayed for a child survivor is justice denied. We cannot continue to speak about child protection while our institutions allow children to suffer in silence and trauma for years. The judiciary and responsible ministries must stop treating these cases as routine files and start treating them as emergencies involving the lives and futures of vulnerable children.”
Ali added that Fiji urgently needs fast-tracked child protection courts, stronger survivor support services, mandatory timelines for sexual offence cases involving children, and greater accountability across all institutions handling child abuse matters.
Save the Children Fiji calls on the Government of Fiji to immediately commission an urgent review of all pending child sexual offence cases currently before the courts and publicly outline measures to prevent further failures of justice.
No child in Fiji should ever be forced to abandon their pursuit of justice because the system moved too slowly to protect them.

Strengthened Framework for National Children’s Committee

Cabinet approved the revised Terms of Reference (TOR) for the Fiji National Coordinating Committee for Children to strengthen national coordination on child protection and development.

The revised TOR enhances the role of the Committee as a key decision-making body and improves its ability to respond to emerging issues affecting children. It also streamlines the Committee’s structure and ensures alignment with national laws, policies, and international commitments, including the Convention on the Rights of the Child.

The Committee will continue to bring together Government agencies, civil society, and development partners to coordinate policies and programmes, support implementation and reporting obligations, and promote awareness of children’s rights across Fiji.
