    ARTICLE Family planning unmet need and access among iTaukei women in New Zealand and Fiji Radilaite Cammock, Peter Herbison, Sarah Lovell, Patricia Priest ABSTRACT AIM: The aim of the study was to identify unmet need and family planning access among indigenous Fijian or iTaukei women living in New Zealand and Fiji. METHOD: A cross-sectional survey was undertaken between 2012–2013 in five major cities in New Zealand: Auckland, Hamilton, Wellington, Christchurch and Dunedin; and in three suburbs in Fiji. Women who did not want any (more) children but were not using any form of contraception were defined as having an unmet need. Access experiences involving cost and health provider interactions were assessed. RESULTS: Unmet need in New Zealand was 26% and similar to the unmet need found in Fiji (25%). Cost and concern over not being seen by a female provider were the most problematic access factors for women. CONCLUSION: There is a need for better monitoring and targeting of family planning services among minority Pacific groups, as the unmet need found in New Zealand was three times the national estimate overall and similar to the rate found in Fiji. Cost remains a problem among women trying to access family planning services. Gendered traditional roles in sexual and reproductive health maybe an area from which more understanding into cultural sensitivities and challenges may be achieved. amily planning is considered an to be in control of when to have or limit the important tool in averting maternal number and timing of children, giving them deaths and ensuring women’s repro- the autonomy and self-preservation that is F 1 ductive needs are met.

  • Women in Fisheries
    FOREWORD We organized the Global Symposium on Women in Fisheries through the recommendation made in the International Symposium on Women in Fisheries held four years ago in Chiangmai, in conjunction with the 5th Asian Fisheries Forum. We are pleased to see the number of participants involved in women in fisheries issues growing. The Symposia have also attracted interested men and women who participated actively in the discussions. From women issues at the Asian level, which was the main focus of the Chiangmai Symposium, we have moved towards issues at the global level in the Kaoshiung Symposium. This time, participants from all corners of the earth met to discuss this very important topic. After the failures in many of the development projects planned by international agencies in the 1960s and 1970s, where women were excluded in the planning and implementation phase, experts realized that the sustainability of projects require the participation from both women and men–not as woman and man per se, but as a community. This Symposium and the earlier one, although largely focusing on women, also raised several gender issues, among which were the involvement of communities in the sapyaw fishery in the Philippines, and the vulnerability of fishers and their families to HIV/AIDS. The next logical step is to move towards gender and fisheries (GAF), instead of focusing just on women. The methodology developed in gender and development (GAD) programs could be utilized for GAF studies, so that the constraints and inequity among men and women may be better understood, and recommendations made to overcome the inequity.

  • How Tuna Is Shaping Regional Diplomacy
    18 How Tuna is Shaping Regional Diplomacy Transform Aqorau Introduction This chapter examines how tuna has shaped regional politics and influenced the relationship between the Pacific Island states and two of the world’s largest trading blocs, the United States and the European Union (EU). This relationship has come under stress in recent years because of the development of arrangements such as the purse seine Vessel Day Scheme (VDS),1 the emergence of regional alliances such as the Parties to the Nauru Agreement (PNA) grouping of countries, and because of the strong desire of the Pacific Island states to control their tuna fisheries and maximise their share of the economic benefits flowing from the exploitation of their tuna resources. The geopolitical underpinnings of the region’s tuna management provide an interesting backdrop to this analysis. All of the world’s major trading states are involved in this fishery — Japan, Korea, the United States, the EU, and China. Japan has the longest presence in the region’s tuna fishery. More recently, China has become a major force in the longline fishery. The region’s tuna 1 The VDS is a management measure that sets a limit on the number of days purse seine vessels are allowed to fish in the waters of the Parties to the Nauru Agreement (PNA) group of countries and Tokelau. The days are allocated to each party, who then charge fishing companies/vessels for each day they fish. 223 THE NEW PACIFIC DIPLOMACY resources have become a key focal point for the prosecution of the strategic geopolitical interests of these powers.

    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE October 7, 2015 CONTACT: Skye Stoury, Marketing & Communications Manager [email protected]; (425) 828-0422 x 224 General Info: http://www.kpcenter.org/ Tickets: (425) 893-9900; http://www.kpcenter.org/performances/te-vaka The South Pacific adrenaline powered Opetaia’s Te Vaka U.S. Tour 2015 Saturday, October 17th, 8:00pm, Kirkland Performance Center Te Vaka News: Disney announced this August Te Vaka soundtrack for new animated feature Moana Te Vaka, which means “The Canoe”, is due to embark on its first major tour of the United States since 2011. Hailed by critics as "A stereotype-smashing glimpse into the soul of the South seas" (Wired Magazine), "the finest South Pacific roots band" (World Music Central) and “one of the greatest South Pacific bands of all time” (Fiji Times), Te Vaka is an original voice in the contemporary music of the Pacific. Led by award-winning singer-songwriter Opetaia Foa‘i, [pronounced OH-PEH-TIE-YA FOE- AYE], Te Vaka’s infectious melodies, Polynesian drums, and world beat rhythms draw on its roots in the cultures of Tokelau, Samoa, Cook Islands, and New Zealand Maori as well as today’s funk, pop, and rock sensibilities. On August 14, Disney announced at its sold-out fan expo D23 that Opetaia Foa‘i is composing the songs for the new Disney animated “princess” feature Moana (scheduled for November 2016 release). The musical team includes Tony-winner Lin-Manuel Miranda (lyrics) and Grammy-winning composer Mark Mancina (“Tarzan” “The Lion King”) (film score). Te Vaka started to record these songs for the soundtrack in August.
