In this episode of the Pacific Way, we bring you a documentary on quatters in Fiji. According to the latest estimates, 12,5% of Fiji's population today is livint in over 182 informal or "squatter" settlements around the country. Many do not have proper legal titles to their homes with a vast majority of these squatters without basic amenities such as piped water, sewerage and electricity. This story seeks to demystify the reasons why there are so many squatters in Fiji today, and analyses government efforts to reduce their numbers. It explores the problems squatters face in their daily lives, and the issues of human rights that their situations present. The voices of squatters themselves have been placed alongside the voices of experts from government and civil society, as they can tell their own stories in this "Struggling for a better living".
