On Tuesday 21st April, WRAM led an engagement with our partners and network within the CSO space to meet with the UN Special Rapporteur on Human Rights Defenders.

The session includes an informational presentation on the Mandate of the Special Rapportuer on Human Rights Defenders and discussion focused on the challenges and risks that human rights defenders face in the course of their work, particularly within our local context. Participants shared experiences and highlighted key barriers, including limited protection mechanisms, resource constraints, and increasing pressures on civic society.

A critical role that WRAM plays is engaging with international human rights reporting processes to hold duty bearers accountable to their commitments in upholding the rights of women and girls in the country. Through this work, WRAM ensures that the voices and lived realities of women human rights defenders are reflected in this mechanism.

Thankyou Mary Lawlor, Special Rapaportuer on Human Rights Defenders and your team for visiting Solomon Islands at a very critical time our country.

On my final day of my visit to the South Pacific I was delighted to meet with human rights defenders working on environmental rights, women's rights and corruption, among other issues, in the Solomon Islands. It was also great to learn of the work of the Solomon Islands HRD Network and to be able to share information on how to access Special Procedures. Thank you to the Women's Rights Action Movement SI for coordinating this meeting.

| Following the close of the Commission on the Status of Women, we reflect on how Pacific voices were present and powerful 🌏⚖️

From the Solomon Islands 🇸🇧, Nauna Revo, Programme Manager at Women’s Rights Action Movement, joined the high-level Interactive Dialogue with Youth Representatives, contributing Pacific perspectives to global discussions on access to justice for all women and girls.

As a young legal professional and advocate, Nauna brought grounded insights from the Pacific, from strengthening family protection laws to advancing women’s leadership and participation in decision-making.

The dialogue created space for youth leaders to engage directly with governments, UN partners and civil society, ensuring that lived experiences continue to inform global commitments on gender equality.

👏 We acknowledge Nauna’s leadership and the critical role of Pacific youth in advancing Rights. Justice. Action. for ALL women and girls.

Speaking on Violence Response and Accountability, Ms Revo highlighted that gender-based violence (GBV) remains a persistent human rights issue in the Solomon Islands and across the Pacific. She emphasized the many barriers survivors face in accessing justice, including systemic challenges and limited support services.

Ms Revo stressed the importance of ensuring that policies reflect the diverse lived realities of women and girls. She also highlighted the added challenges faced by those in rural and remote areas when trying to access justice and essential support services.

She further underscored:
🔹 The importance of survivor-centered approaches in violence response
🔹 The urgent need for sustainable resourcing for service providers
🔹 The critical role young people play in prevention, awareness, and advocacy for accountability

WRAM stands to support our young women leading these important conversations on the global platform.

During the dialogue, Samoa also delivered a powerful intervention with Miss Samoa, Feagaimaali'i Soti Mapu, delivering intervention for Samoa and brought to the forefront issues faced in the blue pacific continent, a powerful moment of solidarity by young pacific women at the global stage.

WRAM also extends its acknowledgement to the Ministry of Women, Youth, Children and Family Affairs for the inclusion of Ms. Revo in the State Delegation and UN Women Headquarters and International Women's Development Agency ( IWDA) for the support enabling Ms Revo's participation.
