We are a voluntary, non-profit organisation of women graduates working to promote lifelong education, improve the status of women and girls, and enable women to effect positive change for a peaceful world.
As a full member of Graduate Women International (GWI) — a global network spanning 60 countries – GWF opens doors to fellowships, international conferences, and a worldwide community of women leaders.
Our HERStory
Graduate Women (Fiji) was founded in 1983 as The Fiji Association of Women Graduates (FAWG) by women graduates living in Suva, united by a simple conviction: that educating women and girls transforms families, communities, and the world.
Four decades later, we remain true to that conviction. We have grown into a vibrant network with members in Suva and Lautoka, and we carry Fiji’s voice into the global conversation through our full membership in Graduate Women International (GWI), headquartered in Geneva, Switzerland.
