The PNGDF’s Gender Committee requested specialized training assistance from U.S. Indo-Pacific Command Office of Women, Peace & Security (WPS) to improve gender equity and equality within the defence force.
The course comprised of thirty PNGDF and Department of Defence students representing diverse career fields such as the Gender Committee; Military Police; Engineering; Chaplains, and Medical/Health Services. This was the first-ever WPS training provided to the PNGDF, and this student cohort comprised of 17 males and 13 females.
