When Home Becomes Hell: Inside one of the world's worst gender violence crises | The Pacific
Domestic abuse against Pacific women are among the highest rates in the world. In some places a ‘bride price’ is paid to a wife’s family when they get married meaning some victims won’t leave their abuser because they’ve been ‘paid for’. In this special report by The Pacific, our team of all-female reporters embarked on a multi-country investigation and met with survivors, perpetrators, frontline workers, lawmakers and villagers to understand the causes and solutions in the hope that something might break the cycle to gender-based violence in the region. Warning: This story contains graphic accounts of gender-based violence and sexual assault.
