Domestic violence in the Solomon Islands must be addressed by churches if women and children are to live in safety and justice.
Anglican youth worker Caroline Ratu said at the World Council of Churches 10th Assembly in South Korea that the incidence of violent acts against women and children would only be reduced through church intervention.

“Even members of churches commit these acts and so we have to speak out and address the issue.
“This must stop.”
