Gender and Culture Learning Paper

In February 2012, a workshop was held in Honiara, Solomon Islands as part of ‘Navigating Gender and Culture: learning from local gender advocates’; a project run by International Women’s Development Agency and funded by the AusAID Innovations Grants Program. This project aimed to document the knowledge and experience of local gender advocates in four (4) countries in Asia and the Pacific and enable them to speak openly about their experiences and share their knowledge and insights with others, both locally and in Australia. This paper aims to inform the practice of people working towards gender equality by documenting what was shared in the two day workshop held in Solomon Islands.
