For more information visit http://www.pacificwomen.org. iii Guide to gender statistics and their presentation Foreword The Guide to gender statistics and their presentation is a guide, bibliography, and almanac, all rolled into one, packed with smart and current advice that everyone can apply. It will appeal to a wide range of users of gender statistics, as well as to those who produce gender statistics. The guide is not just for inexperienced users of statistics, but is also a good reference for bringing experienced data analysts, who are new to gender statistics, up to speed. This guide does not aim to replace all of those huge statistical reference books that are essential tools for statisticians (but the guide does include links to these kinds of references). The point of this guide is to familiarise readers with how to use and present gender statistics. This guide explains how to overcome familiar hurdles, and anticipates challenges, offers alternative solutions and provides examples of how to improve our use and presentation of gender statistics. It begins by explaining gender statistics concepts and uses, with an assessment of the reasons for the generally limited use of gender statistics in the Pacific region. It familiarises users with the different sources of gender statistics and the wide range of resources available about gender statistics. It will help if readers come to this guide with some prior statistical knowledge, but if not, readers will be able to pick up the ideas as they go along. The basics of data presentation provides readers with practical tips and advice about what to do and what not to do – useful checks for us all to make, regardless of our level of expertise. This guide offers a range of techniques for how to present gender statistics in ways that are appropriate for both the nature of the statistics and the audience. It provides practical tips and advice about what information is needed for statistical graphs and charts, cross-tabulations, infographics and maps, and how to write key messages for your audiences. The Pacific Community uses this Guide to gender statistics and their presentation in training workshops throughout the Pacific region, providing practical, hands-on learning to familiarise beginners and more experienced practitioners with gender statistics. The Guide to gender statistics and their presentation offers a range of benefits to readers, who will discover how to present gender statistics in a wide range of ways, and, through building up their skills, they will add these valuable techniques to their professional tool bag. I find this guide to be a valuable resource. I think you will too.

    11 Night Lau & Kadavu Discovery Cruise Embark on your voyage of discovery to a part of Fiji never seen by tourists. For the first time ever, Reef Endeavour will em- bark on a Discovery voyage of the Lau Group and Kadavu. Tuesday: Set sail on your Lau Discovery cruise. After boarding there will be a full briefing from your guide before an afternoon of beach activities at Tivua Island. Later in the evening, enjoy a wonderful Welcome dinner as you cruise into a south pacific sunset. Wednesday: Start your day at Makogai Island with a traditional Fijian ceremony before joining the 1hour walking tour of Mako- gai leper colony and nursery, home to giant clams and turtles. In the afternoon return to the island visiting the local primary school where the children will entertain you with their song and dance. Thursday: Explore a beautiful beach on the rugged southern coastline of Taveuni at Lavena, take a hike to a spectacular water- fall and fresh water pool and enjoy a picnic lunch ashore and a chat to the locals. For the more adventurous there may be a guided kayak tour along the coast to waterfalls directly into the sea (weather permitting. The hike is approx. 1 hour for fit walkers. Quite challenging and we join the rest of the group by the river for lunch.) Friday: We reach the most northern island of Lau—Wailagilala. See the remains of a disused lighthouse, or explore the abun- dant fish life whilst snorkelling. Saturday: Qilaqila, at the northwest end of Vanuabalavu, is known for its pristine waters and mushroom shaped islands.
