✨ Today’s NRL Voice Against Violence program with Fiji National University’s Certificate in Sports Science students reminds us that sport can be more than just a game , It is a Voice to drive Change.

🌟In group discussions, students explored how violence takes many forms, often hidden in what communities have long accepted as “normal.”
One moment that touched us deeply was when non verbal FNU student Vinay Chand, bravely expressed how he has now learnt for the first time about isolation as a form of violence.

"I now see how marriage can somehow reshape my sisters lives, often defining how they may be treated",Vinay shared.
His reflection opened the room to a deeper understanding, that violence is not only physical, but also emotional and social, and its impact runs silently through families and communities.

✅️A session of self‑realisation and determination, breaking through what has been normalised for too long, and reminding us it’s still happening in our communities. Student Council,Ilisoni shares in his vote of thanks, "Our learnings from today will inspire us to become better role models and advocate for a more Safe and Respectful society,Vinaka Vakalevu NRL for todays program with us".

✅️ It only takes one voice ✅️ your voice ✅️ to stand up, speak out, and take action.

🌟Nakelo District / Methodist Circuit – Youth Group

✨An inspiring way for young people to spend their school holidays, not just in fellowship, but in creating awareness on pressing social issues.

💫Through their participation in the Voice Against Violence program, these youth boldly confront the realities of violence against women and children. By engaging in dialogue, reflection, and advocacy, they are learning to challenge harmful norms. The program will be able to teach them to become positive role models in society.

✨ Acknowledging Thursdays in Black by conducting our Voice against Violence program with Fiji National University Sports Science students.

Our Voice Against Violence program engaged FNU Sports Science students as participants. The program initiated positive dialogue and discussions with how youths and young people view the effects and impact of domestic violence in their communities, some openly sharing their experiences. What unfolded during the delivery of the program was spirited and insightful and exactly one of the key objectives of the program which is to ensure more awareness is shared, increase in knowledge of how to work collectively and in unity to eliminate gender-based violence and lastly being made aware of the various services available in the country to assist and support survivors and report cases too.

✅️By sparking dialogue, we aim to empower young leaders to challenge harmful norms, raise awareness, and inspire collective responsibility for a safer, equal and violence free communities.

It only takes ONE ☝️Voice, YOUR 🫵 Voice
