As SPWAN (Samoa Police Women Advisory Network) commemorated International Women’s Day 2025 under the theme “Accelerate Action,” their commitment to making a lasting difference in our community was clearly demonstrated through their thoughtful contributions to SVSG. Their visit to the Campus of Hope not only provided essential goods but also brought an abundance of hope, encouragement, and solidarity to the survivors of violence and abuse we care for.
Around 30 female officers from the SPWAN visited the SVSG Campus, led by Deputy Commissioner of Police Papali’i Monalisa Tia’i-Keti and Assistant Commissioner Papali’i Efo Peiko Moalele.
This ongoing partnership between SVSG and SPWAN is a powerful reflection of our shared mission to protect, uplift, and empower the most vulnerable members of our community. We deeply commend SPWAN’s dedication to service and their steadfast support for women, children, and victims of violence.
The visit and generous donation from this remarkable group of women in positions of authority have greatly uplifted the spirits of the young survivors at the Campus of Hope. In particular, their presence has empowered the young female residents to embrace resilience and take positive action toward change. It is truly inspiring to witness how these women, who dedicate their lives to law enforcement as police officers, also serve as powerful role models by reaching out and giving back to support vulnerable victims in our community.
SVSG President Siliniu. Lina Chang, expressed her heartfelt gratitude to the SPWAN leaders and members and reiterated on the words of blessing, quoted;
“May your leadership and advocacy continue to inspire meaningful change. Fa’afetai tele lava for standing with us on this journey of hope and healing.”
The young residents of the Campus of Hope ended the day with uplifted spirits and hearts full of happiness.
