The National AIDS Council Secretariat is taking measures to advocate for HIV/AIDS during the BSP 7th PNG Games in West New Britain Province.
With the assistance of former WNB Provincial AIDS Committee (PAC), stalls for awareness and free HIV testing were set up.
Other health and social awareness include the PNG Cancer Foundation awareness and a new local organisation called the Male Advocacy Network (MAN), which promotes a fair, safe, healthy and wiser, violence-free community.
This initiative sets out to encourage men to step up and address violence by changing their attitude towards girls and women, beginning from their own home.
This advocacy program involves WNB men and is formed under the Gender Equality and Social Inclusion (GESI) Policy to mobilise the male populace to make WNB a better place for our women and children.
