520 _aVery little has been known about the prevalence and patterns of violence against women (VAW) and domestic violence in Tonga, and there has been a real need for evidence to learn more about the prevalence, causes and consequences of VAW, and in particular to inform policy directions. To address this lack of data, Ma`a Fafine mo e Famili Inc. (MFF) initiated a research project on understanding violence against women in this country. In 2008, MFF was awarded funding from AusAID to conduct a study. This marked the first time a large-scale quantitative and qualitative study on this topic was conducted in Tonga. The study was implemented and managed by MFF, with support from a consultant from the University of the South Pacific. An international consultant assisted with interviewer training quantitative data analysis and report writing. Data collection took place in 2008 and 2009. A Task Force consisting of CEOs of core Government ministries and a key NGO stakeholder was set up to support and advocate for legitimacy and ownership of the study. The Task Force was also given the role of policy guidance and direction for VAW as well as mobilizing support for the dissemination of the findings. (from Executive Summary)
