The literature contains some general comments about the situation across the Pacific, followed by specific information for each Pacific Island Country, where available. The amount of information available on each Pacific country varies. The most comprehensive information comes from countries which form part of the Pacific Multi-site Study on the Effects of Violence against Women on Family Health and Safety (Kiribati, Samoa and the Solomon Islands). There are some countries for which very little information is available, such as Niue, Nauru and Tokelau. The accompanying annotated bibliography provides summaries of the reports referred to in the literature review with hyperlinks, where the reports are available online.
