People have been encouraged to think about the women who face abuse in their homes as we celebrate International Women’s Day today.
Deputy Police Commissioner Administration Raphael Huafolo was speaking during the launch of an evaluation report of the 17 Family sexual violence units throughout the country.
He said the majority of survivors dealt with are women and whilst many will be celebrating this day around the world, many PNG mothers, sisters and daughters are suffering because of violence in the family.
He called on everyone to stand together and unite in the fight to end violence against our womenfolk.
Huafolo took the opportunity to thank the Government and people of Australia as well as the RPNGC partners for their continued assistance in enabling them to effectively address family sexual violence issues.
