Medecins Sans Frontieres

PNG’s Alyson Joyce and Justin Wellington will feature Australian hip-hop artist URTHBOY to raise funds for Doctors Without Borders, an international humanitarian-aid non-governmental organisation (NGO).

Doctors Without Borders, also known as Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF), is best known for its projects in war-torn regions and developing countries facing endemic diseases, including Papua New Guinea.

This was revealed in a report launched today by Medecins Sans Frontieres (MSF) titled Return to Abuser.

The report includes data from more than 3,000 survivors of family and sexual violence that MSF treated in 2014-15 in its two projects in Tari, Hela Province and Port Moresby.

Data collected showed the vast majority of patients, 2 820 treated, were female and the most common form of violence was at the hands of partners.

More than a quarter of these women had been threatened with death.
