Fiji-based femLINKPACIFIC has just launched its new website with the aim of strengthening links with the women’s media initiatives networks and promote the UN Security Council Resolution 1325 on “Women, Peace and Security.”

Women’s community media organisation femLINKPACIFIC: Media Initiatives for Women went online on April 24, 2007 with the launch of its new website <www.femlinkpacific.org.fj/>, developed as a key component of its Regional Media Project for the promotion of United Nations (UN) Security Council Resolution 1325 on “Women, Peace and Security.”

femLINKPACIFIC’s Founding Coordinator Sharon Bhagwan Rolls said, “The development of our website, the revival of our regional femTALK 1325 publications, monthly eNews bulletins as well as the translation or localisation of UN Security Council Resolution 1325 on Women, Peace and Security are all part of an exciting new regional media project which is connecting women’s peace building and media initiatives in Fiji, Solomon Islands, Bougainville and Tonga with the rest of the world through the World Wide Web.”

Bhagwan Rolls added that with the website, strengthening virtual links with other women’s media initiatives and with advocates of UN Security Council Resolution 1325 will be much faster and easier.

femLINKPACIFIC is a Fiji-based women’s non-profit community media organisation which aims to empower women and communities by giving them a voice to fully participate in decision making for equality, development and peace.
