ELF 2006
ELF 2006's
publication was a journal titledDau Vosa. Vosa is a Fijian phrase
that is used in various contexts. When applied to women, it often carries
a negative connation as it is used to admonish and ridicule a woman who is
alleged to have spoken out of line. When applied to men however, the same
term is uttered in admiration and respect for one who is considered to have
contributed constructively to the issue at hand. The publication was
deliberately named Dau Vosa to reclaim the phrase, and to acknowledge
that the women of Fiji can and must speak so that issues we raise will be
heard and our contributions to society recognized.
