Jully Makini (also known as Jully Sipolo) (born c. 1953 (age 64 in 2017)[1]) is a Solomon Islander poet, writer and women's rights activist. The author of poems such as Civilized Girl (1981) and Praying Parents (1986), in June 2017 she received the International Women of Courage Award from the US Secretary of State for her work in promoting women's rights in the Solomon Islands. CareerA native of Gizo in Western Province, and graduate of the University of the South Pacific, she began a career in writing after attending the Solomon Island Women Writers' Workshop in 1980.[2] The following year she published the poem Civilized Girl, which is a light-hearted critique of women becoming westernized in the islands.[1] In 1983, as an editor with the University of the South Pacific Solomon Islands Centre, she was involved in publishing the first anthology of women's works ever published in the islands, Mi Mere. In 1986 she published the poem Praying Parents, and later in 2007 she authored Flotsam and Jetsam.[2] Makini is noted for her work in advocating women's rights in the Solomon Islands, a country where violence against women is still a taboo issue to discuss in society. She has used her writing work to convey her message to people in remote areas. In the capital of Honiara she has taken an active role in leading various women's groups and promoting sustainable development. She moved back to Gizo in 2008, where she has helped establish the Gizo Family Support Centre, a local NGO, with UN Women Ending Violence Against Women (EVAW) Pacific Fund funding. In June 2017 she received the International Women of Courage Award from the US Secretary of State for her work in activism, and she has been cited as one of "70 Inspiring Pacific Women" by Pacific Community.[3] References1. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/p0233714|title=Solomon Islands: Jully Makini|publisher=BBC|date=20 July 2014|accessdate=2 November 2017}} {{authority control}}{{DEFAULTSORT:Makini, Jully}}2. ^1 {{cite web|url=https://www.poetryfoundation.org/poets/jully-makini|title=Jully Makini|publisher=Poetry Foundation|accessdate=2 November 2017}} 3. ^1 {{cite web|url=http://www.spc.int/70-inspiring-pacific-women/jully-makini-purcell/|title=Jully Makini Purcell|publisher=Pacific Community|accessdate=2 November 2017}} 13 : Solomon Islands women writers|Solomon Islands poets|Women's rights activists|Living people|People from the Western Province (Solomon Islands)|1950s births|Solomon Islands activists|Women poets|20th-century poets|20th-century women writers|21st-century poets|21st-century women writers|University of the South Pacific alumni |
