The Fiji Women’s Crisis Centre said their statistics show that about one in four women have been raped in Fiji.
Coordinator Shamima Ali said as they prepare for the ‘Reclaim the Night’ march this evening the Centre is aiming to raise awareness to stop rape.
Ali said the National Survey also shows that 16% of the women surveyed said their first sexual encounter was when they were under 15 years of age, and that they were forced to have sex.
The march will begin at 6.30 tonight from the Suva Flea market through the city up to the Government Buildings in Gladstone Road.
