Vaimasenu'u Zita Sefo-Martel (born 15 July 1961) is a Samoan women's rights activist, fautasi skipper,[2][3][4] and archer who has represented Samoa at the Pacific Games. She is also an honorary consul of France.[5]

Biography

Martel attended Canterbury University, where she had been a rower.[6]

In 2000, her local church needed a skipper for their longboat, or fautasi.[7] At first she refused the request, but was eventually persuaded to give it a try.[7] When she became the skipper for her church, she also became the first woman to act as captain in the fautasi races in 2001.[2][8] Her boat won the race at Samoa's 50th independence celebrations in 2012.[9] In 2020 her crew won the Faleula to Apia fautasi race.[10]

She represented Samoa in archery at the 2007 Pacific Games in Apia, winning silver (alongside Prime Minister Tuila'epa Sa'ilele Malielegaoi and Eddie Chan Pao) in the mixed recurve matchplay[11] and in the individual compound.[12] At the 2011 Pacific Games in Nouméa she won gold in the compound matchplay[13] and bronze in the compound individual.[14]

Martel also speaks out against domestic violence in Samoa.[8][15]

Honours

In 2013 Martel was made an officer of the French National Order of Merit.[8][16]
