The Solomon Islands Planned Parenthood Association (SIPPA) has reinforced its collaboration with SolTuna Limited through the EmpowerHER Project, which aims to prevent and respond to sexual and gender-based violence against women and girls.
SIPPA Executive Director Jack Martin and EmpowerHER Project Officer Viann Vozoto met with SolTuna’s Head of Human Resources, Natasha Raitava, company clinic doctor Hendrick Kaniki, and senior clinic nurse Sister Christina Elliot in Noro, Western Province.
The meeting emphasised on the importance of partnership in building safer and healthier communities. Discussions focused on awareness programs, training, and coordinated support services for survivors, a statement from SIPPA yesterday said.
SolTuna expressed appreciation for SIPPA’s engagement and pledged support for future activities, including providing training venues for employees and community representatives.
SIPPA also extended an invitation for SolTuna to join the Provincial Stakeholders Network under the EmpowerHER Project, working alongside Western Province SAFENET partners to strengthen prevention efforts and improve response services.
This partnership highlights a shared commitment to empower women and girls, while fostering collaboration between community organisations and the private sector in addressing gender-based violence.
