Brian Tete thesis

Ni-Vanuatu researcher determined to solve domestic violence problem

The problem of violence in Vanuatu has been a major talking point in local media after two people died in connection to events at the War Horse saloon in the capital.

Brian Tete is a Ni-Vanuatu student currently doing a thesis on this topic at Marmara University in Istanbul, Turkey.

He says while social media can have a positive role in raising awareness, it can also make people in the community targets for abuse.

Tete told Pacific Beat that as a young person he is not happy about the violence and killings happening.
