These are among our calls: adequate resourcing for enforcement agencies, trained frontline service providers, comprehensive sex education in schools, and faith-based organisations being sensitised not to perform wedding ceremonies involving children.

In the Northern Division, the figure is 12 percent. When we spoke with 96 women across Fiji, they named unintended teenage pregnancy, poverty, unemployment and low levels of education as the main causes.

#IDGC2026 | Child marriage is illegal in Fiji. The Marriage Act, as amended in 2009, sets the legal age of marriage at 18.
Yet according to the 2021 MICS by the Fiji Bureau of Statistics, 9 percent of women aged 20 to 49 were first married or in union before they turned 18.

We are calling for clear pathways for young women from regional and climate exposed communities to shape policy and outcomes.

Sally holds an internationally mandated role under the UNFCCC, supported jointly by the Australian and Turkish COP31 Presidencies, to strengthen youth engagement in climate decision making. Young women are on the frontline of climate impacts and must have a seat at the table.

Last week, over 140 feminists, allies and activists from across the Pacific came together in Fiji for the #4thPFF.

@pacfemforum.bsky.social created an inspiring and much-needed space for solidarity, alliance-building and a reimagining of what feminist resistance asks of us today.

Emerging young women leaders from our Young Feminist Network (YFemN) have developed the Revitalising Feminist Knowledge climate demands.

Wondering what all this #PreCOP31 chatter is about?

Here are 5 things you should know about this year's pre-COP meetings and the importance of it being in the #Pacific - a region that's been setting the standard for global climate ambition while facing some of the worst impacts of #ClimateChange

As part of the Feminist Climate Collective, we’re also proud to be standing alongside #PacificFeminists at this week’s #PreCOP31 and join them in calling for Pacific women, women with disabilities & gender-diverse people’s leadership & knowledge to be recognised and centred in global #ClimateAction.

Ahead of #PreCOP31, Nalini Singh, Executive Director of @fwrm1.bsky.social, spoke with RNZ Pacific about findings from ‘Rising Tides, Rising Voices' - a new research report exploring what #Pacific activists see as most urgently needed to connect #GenderEquality, #ClimateJustice and water security.

As global leaders gather in Fiji for this week’s #PreCOP31, Pacific feminists have made their priorities clear: it’s time for Pacific women’s voices to be meaningfully heard and centred in global climate talks and decision-making.

#COP31 #ClimateJustice #PacificClimateJustice @fwrm1.bsky.social

A quote from Nalini Singh, Fiji Women’s Rights Movement Executive Director, that says, "We need to treat Pacific women, and this includes women with disabilities and gender-diverse people, as equal decision makers. We need to be on the tables where these decisions are being made in ways in which our voice and our messages are heard in a meaningful way.”

The wait is over.

Our team is preparing the space and getting everything in place to receive everyone. We have been working towards this moment alongside partners across the Pacific, and we are glad it is here.
