The Catholic Church in Fiji has come out strongly condemning the spate of Domestic Violence deaths in the Country
Head of the Catholic Church in Fiji-Archbishop Peter Loy Chong says the Literate on the Domestic Violence is that we are a Patriarchal Culture where men are seen to be holding the Authority.
He says Domestic Violence trend happens more in Patriarchal Culture and there needs to be an Education on Culture, our culture needs to be changed if its not promoting good christian values.
