UN Women country representative, Dr. Jeffery Buchanan, said this while commending the government for endorsing the PNG National Strategy to Prevent and Respond to Gender-Based Violence (2015-2025) in Parliament on December 15th.
He said it was a milestone achievement in efforts to tackle GBV, which remains a pandemic in the country.
Dr Buchanan said having a national strategic action plan in place to address this atrocity to women and girls was another step in the right direction.
