In this chapter, I examine the extent to which there has been clear political will behind the implementation of the gender mainstreaming mandate in the Fiji Parliament, moving beyond obvious, practical manifestations of will to less tangible norms and processes. To this end, I identify the narratives that articulate both the Fiji Parliament’s internalisation of, and resistance to, gender equality respectively. In this discussion, I identify the groups of actors most likely to advance these narratives of support and resistance, and the strategies they deploy to perpetuate these norms. By way of elaborating an interaction effect between an institution’s capacity to work towards gender equality and its will to do so, I consider any opportunities for (in)formal coalitions to counter the identified institutional resistance to gender equality. Overall, the chapter finds that while there are certainly actors in Fiji who work hard to articulate narratives of gender equality internalisation, they are met with passive, but pervasive narratives of resistance. To counter that deep seated resistance, informal coalitions between parliamentary staff and Fijian civil society actors could—but are yet to—be mobilised.
