Women in the Solomon Islands: A Country Profile
Statistical Profiles, No.7, 1996, 48 pages
Despite the existence of matrilineal traditions, there is a strong patriarchal base throughout the Solomon Islands; women in practically all spheres of life play a role that is somewhat inferior or subordinate to that of men. Although the government has recognized the importance of women's contribution to the development of the country and has made a general commitment to meet women's needs and ensure their equal participation in development activities, this commitment has yet to be translated into sectoral policies and programmes. This profile is an attempt to pool together the available data as well as to highlight the data gaps in order to facilitate a systematic appraisal of the issues and problems related to women in the Solomon Islands.

Women in Vanuatu: A Country Profile
Statistical Profiles, No.6, 1996, 33 pages
Traditionally, the status of women in Vanuatu society has been subordinate to men. Over the years, however, there have been changes though in many respects, the role of women particularly in the rural areas, remains more or less as it has been. While the Government has attempted to take legal and administrative measures to ensure women's rights, there is a lack of awareness among senior officials and community leaders about issues affecting women. The present profile attempts to pool together available data so as to provide a more clear and detailed insight regarding the situation of women in Vanuatu.
