Did you know about our Conference's logo?
The identifying imagery of the Triennial Conference of Pacific Women features three women representing the Pacific's sub-regions: Melanesia, Micronesia, and Polynesia. Their unity is symbolic of the interconnectedness of our Blue Pacific region and its peoples. Created by the Pacific Community (SPC), this imagery became the official logo of the conference in 2017.
