One of Leadership Fiji’s objectives is to facilitate dialogue on matters concerning socio-economic interests.
In 2017, with the support of the Australian High Commission, Leadership Fiji hosted Rosie Batty, 2015 Australian of the Year Award recipient and held a series of dialogue and fundraising on the subject of family violence.
Rosie Batty, who had endured years of abuse, spoke out just hours after her son’s murder and gave voice to many thousands of victims of domestic violence who had until then remained unheard.
In November, 2019, with the support of the New Zealand High Commission, Leadership Fiji hosted a one-day national dialogue on substance drugs where the outcomes were formulated into the Laucala Document and handed over to the permanent secretary for Ministry of Defence and National Security.
