Solomon Islands passes Family Protection Act

Solomon Islands launches its first ever Family Protection Act. For the first time, domestic violence is explicitly outlawed. Previously, the only option for women who experienced physical or sexual violence was to charge their partners with assault. IWDA partner Women's Rights Action Movement played a huge role in getting this Act passed.
