We are working to improve access to care for survivors of violence in Papua New Guinea’s Highlands region.

People in Jiwaka province suffer many types of violence; inter-community violence, sexual and gender-based violence, domestic violence, election-related violence, and violence due to sorcery accusations. Compounding people’s suffering is the lack of healthcare services in remote and rural areas.

In June 2024 our teams began working on a community-based approach to healthcare by strengthening the capacity of existing services. We are also looking to establish a functioning service to provide care to survivors of sexual and gender-based violence by bolstering the referral and protection system.
