Many women and children in PNG are impacted by family and sexual violence.
Yet, because of the taboos in place, most do not know how to get help or face other barriers trying to.
Speaking at the Main Lecture Theatre at the University of PNG this afternoon will be Rosie Batty.
Batty is the 2015 Australian of the Year and prominent anti-violent campaigner.She was brought into the country by Femili PNG, an NGO in the country providing assistance to survivors and victims to FSV.
Her visit is to raise awareness on FSV, increase support for Femili PNG's work, addressing FSV and to show people of Papua New Guinea that Australians support them in their journey to end FSV.
Batty first met with students and the general public at the University of Technology in Lae, on April 24.The second public lecture at MLT will be at 2pm this afternoon.
Details on her visit will be available on the Femili PNG website: www.femilipng.org
Her visit ends tomorrow on April 28.
