Human Rights This section sets out the performance of the National Human Rights Institution in the 2019/2020 financial year. There have been key trends in the NHRI’s work over the period. First, the NHRI has issued a range of statements of national significance that have put the spotlight on emerging human rights challenges in Samoa including the ongoing debates on the Amendments Bills 2020. The ongoing Pilot project borne out of the National Inquiry into Family Violence 2018 continues with significant focus on community driven initiatives for family violence prevention. The bulk of the Unit’s work this year was continuing the implementation of the 2 year roll out plan activities/programmes aimed to raise awareness of the Office’s National Public Inquiry into Family Violence Report in Samoa 2018 and to encourage our stakeholders and community to start implementing recommendations of the Report. One of the main and important activity under this Rollout Plan is the establishment of Family Safety Committees in each village in Samoa as local preventive mechanisms of family violence. Challenges This year has been a rather challenging year for the Unit to implement some of its major activities. This was mainly due to unavoidable and unexpected circumstances such as the measles outbreak towards the Office of the Ombusman/NHRI Samoa Annual Report 2019/20 18
