The Solomon Islands Women in News Media (SIWINM) stands in solidarity with Vice-President Gina Maka’a and all journalists facing intimidation for carrying out their professional duties.

A free and independent press is essential to transparency, accountability and democracy. We call for respect for the rule of law and the protection of journalists who serve the public interest.

World Press Freedom Day commemoration in Honiara brought together media practitioners in the mainstream media and public relations to celebrate the event today.

The event, organized by the Solomon Islands Women in News Media (SIWINM) with the support of the Media Association of Solomon Islands - MASI, focused on the theme: "Shaping a Future at Peace."

We were honored to have Prime Minister Jeremiah Manele and members of the diplomatic corps who joined us on the occasion, which reaffirmed that press freedom is not just a professional right, it is the bedrock of human rights and national development.

The Solomon Islands Women in News Media (SIWINM) hosted a Financial Literacy Workshop for its members at the Media Association of Solomon Islands office in Honiara today.

The workshop aimed to equip women in media with practical financial skills to better manage their income and plan for long term financial security.

The full day program covered key topics including money management tools, personal budgeting, income building, and pathways to financial independence. Participants also engaged in interactive sessions featuring budgeting exercises, savings planning, and open discussions with facilitators.

Sessions were delivered by Freda Diau from the Central Bank of Solomon Islands and Rodney Suibaea from the Solomon Islands Small Business Enterprise Center, who shared practical insights that participants can apply in their daily lives.

SIWINM extends its appreciation to the Pacific Media Assistance Scheme for supporting this initiative.
