Ensuring no one is left behind remains a priority with the COVID-19 response and early recovery efforts. ‘As people with disabilities, the most critical thing was our safety and protection,‘ said Lanieta Tuimabu, Office Manager of the Fiji Disabled Peoples Federation. Ms Tuimabu was one of four panellists discussing the impacts and challenges arising from the COVID-19 response and early recovery, at the Fiji Reflection and Learning Workshop held in Suva from 19–20 October: Nalini Singh, Fiji Women’s Rights Movement; Susan Grey, femLINKpacific; Tara Chetty, Pacific Women Support Unit (facilitator); Stephanie Dunn, Fiji Women’s Crisis Centre; and Lanieta Tuimabu, Fiji Disabled People’s Federation.
