International Women's Day is a good time to reflect on how we've contributed to help government improve outcome to support women and girls who are subjected to abuse and violence. Meet one of the Femili PNG's senior staff who shares her reflection. #IWD2025

Femili PNG recently conducted an intensive week-long training for service providers and partners in Goroka to strengthen their capacity to provide effective, high-quality case management services. Full story: femilipng.org/femili-png-str…

The 🇩🇪 @GermanyInOz is among the supporters of the crucial work of fighting violence against women. Meeting with Daisy Plena, CEO of 🇵🇬 PNG-based NGO @FemiliPNG & her team.

Thank you to the village court office in the Eastern Highlands for working closely with us to reach out to village court officials in Daulo, Lufa and Goroka Urban areas. #Day2 #GBVResponse #GBVPrevention #VillageCourt #PNG20DaysOfActivism

#Day3 #PNG20DaysOfActivism

Femili PNG remains committed to respond and prevent violence through case management services and training and outreach departments. Let us all be reminded that violence is not accepted and we should not accept what is not normal. #16DaysOfActivism #PNG20DaysOfActivism

“Few police arrests are made even though a number of Femili PNG clients want perpetrators to be arrested,” says Elly Toimbo from @FemiliPNG. devpolicy.org/ten-years-of-f…

To our supporters, partners and friends, we are pleased to share the achievements of Femili PNG over the 2023/24 financial year. This report, our 10th annual edition, covers the period from 1 July 2023 to 30 June 2024. Read full report here: femilipng.org/wp-content/upl…

If you are in Goroka or neighboring highlands province and are experiencing violence and abuse, please contact Femili PNG Goroka office for assistance.

“Given the underfunding across the board for services assisting survivors of family & sexual violence [in PNG], it is hardly surprising that govt support for children who have suffered abuse is lacking,” say @stephenrhowes & Estelle Stambolie. @FemiliPNG devpolicy.org/child-abuse-in…

I must admit that @Qantas 's service is now so terrible. First, they canceled my flight, and now I have been waiting 50 minutes for my baggage claim.

But seriously @ForumSEC why can Ozzie's n Kiwi's visit the Pacific visa free n we the Pacific vuvale, don't have reciprocal arrangements? At #FEMM24 the idea progressed somewhat but how far will PIF Leaders go on it? @stephenrhowes and I took a look. devpolicy.org/pif-general-se…

Great to see the Forum, and in particular the new Forum SG, get behind the push for freer movement of people across the Pacific. Some great reporting from @sadhana_sen1 in our new @devpolicy blog devpolicy.org/pif-general-se…
