The 2nd day of the Pacific Women’s Sport Leadership Program today had participants from across the region engage in discussions and activities on dealing with challenges in their various fields.
The 20 participants from Fiji, Samoa, Tonga, Vanuatu and PNG, all presented ideas and thoughts on where women in the Pacific could be used as catalysts for change in their communities and sport.

Other participants also expressed the same sentiments.
