"Globally, 1 in 3 women experience some form of violence in their lifetime, whereas in the Pacific, that number increase to 2 out of 3."
“I appealed for an end to violence everywhere, now. But violence is not confined to the battlefield. For many women and girls, the threat looms largest where they should be safest. In their own homes.” - António Guterres, UN Secretary-General The United Nations calls on Samoa to uphold its...

What a disgusting bigoted bit of cherrypicking. You actually said in his culture (Samoan) it is
expected to discipline their families with violence. No cherrypicked UN statement can justify that. Samoan men are not
expected to be violent to women and to suggest so is flat out racist.
"Violence against women is an epidemic in Australia. In 2022-23, one woman was killed every eleven days by an intimate partner." As an Australian man, am I
expected to discipline my family with violence?
To suggest Auva'a is not a "bad man" after leaving his partner bruised and bleeding after throwing her to the ground and bashing her against a door, because he is Samoan is a disgusting and frankly racist assertion. That Samoans are not bad if they bash their women because of culture is madness and a disgusting generalisation. Walk up to Kelma and tell him that you expect that he will bash his wife to discipline her and that you wont judge him for it. I'd pay to watch how that pans out.
Auva'a lived in NZ from primary school age and then was raised in Australia since a teenager.
Read the court reports. Auva'a doesnt even raise his culture as an excuse......he was blind drunk.
Of all the bullshit you have dreamed up here, this is the most disgusting and shocking.
