Doris Tulifau

Maluseu Doris Tulifau (born 1990 or 1991) is a Samoan American human rights activist, who campaigns against domestic violence in Samoa. She is the founder of Brown Girl Woke (B.G.W.), a non-profit organization that supports women and girls in Samoa to counter gender-based violence.

Early life and education Tulifau grew up in a Samoan family in San Francisco. Her parents are Samoan, but had grown up in New Zealand before emigrating to the United States. The group uses social media and meetings on college campuses to raise awareness of women's rights, with both men and women joining the group. During the COVID-19 pandemic, the organisation received a donation of face masks to distribute to community members.

In the course of her career Tulifau has spoken out on how the Samoan customary law, ifoga, is not suitable for use in cases of domestic violence. She has also called on the Samoan government to have a zero tolerance approach to gender-based violence. In 2024, she attended the 4th Small Island Developing States Conference and Gender Equality Forum, along with Samoan government officials and other activists, such as Nadia Meredith Hunt and Adelaide Nafoi.

Tulifau is also a podcaster, and television and radio host.

Personal life Tulifau is a victim of gender-based violence. Palusami is her favourite food from Polynesia.
