Abstract

This series of five videos asks questions rarely asked of young Pacific Island women, whose voices are marginalised in their cultures and communities due to their gender and age. They ask what young Pacific women want in terms of feeling safe, respected, included, connected and skilled within their communities. The videos explore the question of how young women can be empowered to make a more equal, and important contribution to social, economic and political life in their countries.

note = "The opinions voiced in these videos came out of interactive consultations that the Pacific Young Women{\textquoteright}s Leadership Alliance (PYWA) held with 250 women across six Pacific countries. The videos were recorded in Cook Islands at the 12th Triennial Conference of Pacific Women. The series marked the first time that a group of seven young women from six Pacific Island countries had featured together in a video to voice issues of importance to them. Importantly, the series also included representatives from the LGBTQI and disability communities, who are even further marginalised, and whose opinions are rarely heard in mainstream Pacific society or media.
