Women in Black campaign, Fiji

Media statement

National Council of Women, Fiji Secretariat - Suva, Fiji Islands Saturday, May 20, 2000

The National Council of Women, Fiji is calling all affiliate organisations - as well as all other women's Non Government Organisations and Members of Civil Society - to join in a Women in Black campaign as an indication of our 'silent protest' and denouncement of the overthrow of Hon. Chaudhary's democratically elected government.

It will also be an indication of our anger and that we deplore the violent path taken by self-acclaimed spokes-people of all indigenous people in this beloved country.

All women and supporters are urged to wear black or light a single candle/diya from tonight onwards in this campaign of civil outrage, launched by the National Council of Women, Fiji.

If you wish to send a message of solidarity or support for the new Women In Black campaign, then you can email the NCW at ncwf@is.com.fj
