Virisila Buadromo - you are an amazing lady!Congratulations my girl - we the people of Fiji are so proud of you!
For those of you that do not know, Virisila Buadromo has just received an International Women of Courage medal from Condaleza Rice in the USA as part of the Annual Secretary of State's Award for International Women of Courage in recognition of her outstanding quest for the protection of human rights in Fiji.
The award stated that the eight women selected from around the world, all shared a commitment to the non-negotiable demands of human dignity – the conviction that no culture, no religion, and no tradition of any nation provides license for treating women as objects or instruments to be commanded by another.
Virisila , you are a huge inspiration to all of us in Fiji.
We hope the some of us can find more inspiration from your ability to highlight our plight and our fight against the military regime in Fiji.
