Family and Sexual Violence Unit (FSVU)

Much-needed support for Lae sexual violence unit

Karen Quinn, representing the Ladylionesses, presented two separate cheques worth approximately K7,000 to the Lae police.

Upon receiving the cheques, Lae metropolitan superintendent, Anthony Wagambie Jnr, said the FSVU deals directly with survivors of gender-based violence (GBV) and/or family sexual violence (FSV).

“Without the tools to complete the job it is very difficult and depressing for the officers who try so hard to serve the community.

“Hence a very warm thank you to the Ladylionesses.

Ruth to finally get help

The coordinator of the Family and Sexual Violence Unit (FSVU), Chief Inspector David Kila, has agreed to meet with her tomorrow (Tuesday).

The mother of three thanked Loop PNG for the support and is grateful that she will finally receive the help she needs.

Ruth told Loop how she lived through “hell” for ten years. In one instance, a bottle was smashed on the back of her head and in a separate incident; a wine glassed was whammed in her face, just missing her eyes.
