Tuvalu National Women and Youth Forum: Petsyio Koau

Petsyio Koau is Program Manager at the Tuvalu Family Health Association (TUFHA). She’s driven by the passion to raise awareness and empower women and youth as well as see TUFHA grow into a well-recognised organisation in Tuvalu. She shared this video message from the inaugural Tuvalu National Women and Youth Forum, held from 9–13 December. The forum focused on many issues: ending violence against women and girls; advancing sexual and reproductive health and rights; and increasing women’s participation in leadership and ‘Falekaupule’ decision making roles.
