The Fiji Women's Crisis Centre says while more women are reporting sexual assaults than before, most still won't come forward because they're afraid they will be blamed, or because of the attitude of police.
The police say close to 3,000 cases of sexual violence were reported nationwide last year.
The director of the Fiji Womens Crisis Centre, Shamima Ali, says a lot has improved, for example, there is more awareness and support in the community and the Police Sexual Offences Unit does an excellent job most of the time.
But she says it's likely 90 percent of sexual violence survivors don't report the assault, because of the attitudes of both the community and the police.
"Women are blamed for being raped, it's their fault, those myths are still around. Then also there is a lot of problems with law enforcement, the attitudes with the service providers, law enforcement attitudes, with our courts, even though we have some of the best laws. While things have changed, we still have those problems."
Shamima Ali says she recently had a case where a young girl reported her rape to police, but they later lost her statement.
