Fiji needs to create a culture that shames anyone who even thinks about assaulting our women and children.

Prime Minister Voreqe Bainimarama made this comment while speaking in iTaukeiat Viwa Island yesterday.

Bainimarama says it is time that all Fijians condemn these crimes and demand that we as society refuse to tolerate such acts.

He says people who commit these crimes should be ashamed to show their faces in our communities.

Bainimarama adds all Fijians should live a life that is free from violence and abuse of our women and children.
