above shows that the right education can both directly prevent violence and also reduce the behaviours which increase the risk of violence, such as alcohol abuse. The Inquiry has dealt with the role of parents and attitudes towards children and of equal importance is ensuring children are provided with the necessary skills and knowledge through the formal education system. The need for a comprehensive sexual and healthy relationships education curriculum for Samoa was commonly identified throughout the Inquiry. “It is the contention of the Family Court that education is more effective as a preventive measure than a corrective measure.” Family Violence Court, Inquiry document 40 “(The) education system needs to include comprehensive education on sexual and reproductive health rights and capacity building […] on all forms of violence and existing services.” Samoa National Youth Council, Inquiry submission, Inquiry document 27 “The school curriculum needs to include human rights, ‘healthy relationships’, the Constitution, how to be a good citizen and values education. Reintroduction of corporal punishment in schools is a step backwards.” Young Women’s Christian Association, Inquiry submission, Inquiry document 28 “The importance of a formal education in shaping positive behaviour among children cannot be emphasized enough.” Samoa Family Safety Study, 2017, Inquiry document 46 At the outset the Inquiry highlighted the power and control wheel, which attempts to show the different elements of family violence and the dynamics between them. On the other side of that coin is the nonviolence and equality wheel, the principles of which should be instilled in children through their parents and teachers. Moreover, it should form the starting point for discussions on a new curriculum.
