Commissioner of the Royal Solomon Islands Police Force, RSIPF, Matthew Varley calls on all men in Solomon Islands to join the campaign to end violence against women and girls, and make a commitment not to tolerate it in the communities.
Speaking at the end of the float parade marking the beginning of the 16 Days campaign against violence against women and girls, Commissioner Varley said the issue of violence against women and girls is one that we cannot be silent about. It is happening every day in our communities.
Commissioner Varley said as you look around in our communities today, domestic violence at homes, offices, streets and elsewhere is a big concern for the police. Based on police daily reports of crime, sometimes up to 90 percent is related to domestic violence matters.
