About Stoke Fijian Methodist

The elders at Stoke Fijian Methodist Fellowship, hereafter known as “the leadership,” recognise the critical need to provide a safe and caring environment for children, young people, and adults. We acknowledge that individuals can be victims of physical, sexual, and emotional abuse, as well as neglect. We firmly uphold the UN Universal Declaration of Human Rights and the International Covenant of Human Rights, which state that everyone is entitled to “all the rights and freedoms set forth therein, without distinction of any kind, such as race, colour, sex, language, religion, political or other opinion, national or social origin, property, birth or other status”. We also concur with the Convention on the Rights of the Child, which asserts that children should be able to develop their full potential, free from hunger, want, neglect, and abuse. They have an inherent right to be protected from “all forms of physical or mental abuse”.
