Sharing is caring - domestic violence survivor retells story of survival and strength


WHILE there are signs that attitudes to domestic violence are changing in the Pacific Islands, the fact remains that most women are likely to experience some form of abuse at some time in their lives.
Annie Kiriau has survived many years of abuse and continues to be an advocator.

 Remarkably Annie Kiriau, a mother of eight, and grandmother to 36 is still with her husband, and she has been recognised by Queen Elizabeth for her contribution to the development of the Solomons, after becoming the first woman to rise the top of the banking profession in her country.
