Talofa lava,

Welcome to the official website of the Samoa Fa’afafine Association (SFA) Incorporated.

SFA is a community-based organization in Apia, Samoa and is set up to address issues relating to sexual and gender minorities in Samoa. 

We hope this medium will allow us to present our viewpoints, our stories, and our goals as an Association so that we can become better active citizens and participants in the determination of issues that affect us individually and as a community.

STATEMENT

As children of Samoa, it is our common stance to raise:

- our fundamental pride and esteem as fa’afafine;

- conscious that social and legal discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation, gender identity and expression is invasive thus for effective work against such oppression we call for national, regional and international solidarity;

- conscious with respect to the vulnerability of our community in a Society that continues to practice so many forms of discrimination, the need for our protection from abuse and the goal of ensuring that we experience both freedom and support as we develop our own sexualities and identities;

- conscious of the impact of discrimination on the basis of sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, age and disability and the way in which such discrimination can end in violence;

- acknowledgement of the say and the work of previous generations in our community who have struggled for equality and liberation of human rights for sexual and gender minority groups.
