Our Projects

At Sista, our work focuses on building meaningful relationships with our partners to facilitate change through arts, media and communications to empower the women of Vanuatu. We integrate learning, capacity building and collective care in our work, and believe the process is just as important as the outcome.

Our work challenges the underlying causes of violence, discrimination and inequality through long term advocacy and development programs. We use a combination of creative and traditional approaches from using social media to generate discussions on gender equality, holding fashion shoots to celebrate culture and body positivity, facilitating workshops to support young women’s leadership, to promoting legislative reform towards the realization of women’s rights and developing advocacy campaigns to end gender based violence.

We understand that for women and girls to be empowered and have equal standing in society, we need to address knowledge gaps, shift attitudes, encourage new behaviours and evolve social norms.
