A $500,000 partnership agreement between the Government and Samoa Victim Support Group has begun rolling out its first project.
Village representatives from five villages were invited for discussion as the first project under the agreement tackles the Aumaga (village men).
The aim of the agreement is to eliminate domestic violence against women and girls.
Each of the five villages will be working of several projects worth of $5,000 each.
These projects should financially benefit the village men to be able to support their families and prevent them from violence.
