Press Release: Commemorating 14 Years of the Domestic Violence Prevention Act (3/2012)

Today we mark 14 years since the ratification of the Domestic Violence Prevention Act (3/2012). Over these years, we have strengthened systems of protection, expanded awareness, and improved coordinated responses to support survivors and prevent violence. Each milestone reflects collective effort across institutions and communities. As we reflect on the lessons learned, we remain committed to strengthening prevention, improving services, and addressing gaps to ensure more effective protection and support. We move forward with continued dedication towards a Maldives where every family is safe, and where everyone can live free from violence.

On World Health Day, under the theme “Together for Health. Stand with Science” we celebrate the power of coming together for better health. Standing with science means using knowledge, evidence, and collaboration to create safer, healthier environments where everyone can thrive. When we work together, we build stronger communities and a future where wellbeing is possible for all.

FPA has conducted a sensitization session on Domestic Violence and Gender-based Violence in the Maldives for the Domestic Violence Prevention National Strategy Working Group members. This session also focused on the Domestic Violence Prevention National Strategy’s implementation and monitoring works being carried out by FPA.

Eid Mubarak! Wishing you and your loved ones a blessed Eid filled with kindness and compassion.

This Ramadan, let’s remember that true safety begins with compassion and care for those around us. A society where everyone feels respected and supported is built when we act with understanding and kindness. Together, we can create a safer, more caring community.

Today we celebrate the dedication and impact of social workers around the world. Their work continues to bring communities together and inspire positive change. This year’s theme, “Co-Building Hope and Harmony: A Harambee Call to Unite a Divided Society,” reminds us that change happens when we come together. Social workers play a vital role in connecting communities, uplifting voices, and building a more inclusive and hopeful future for all.
