Summary
| Description |
English:
There is no specific legislation criminalising domestic violence in
Papua New Guinea
. The criminal court does not differentiate between assault committed in the community or in the home. After an official visit to the country, UN special rapporteur
Rashida Manjoo
identified violence against women in Papua New Guinea as a “pervasive phenomenon” often involving family members. The unity shown by men, women and children on
White Ribbon Day
is an important reminder that violence against women impacts on society as a whole.
