  • Family and Sexual Violence in Papua New Guinea: a Medical Emergency
    Family and Sexual Violence in Papua New Guinea: a medical emergency The Australian Government Inquiry into the human rights issues confronting women and girls in the Indian Ocean – Asia Pacific region Submission by Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) Family and sexual violence (FSV) is widespread across Papua New Guinea (PNG) both within and outside the family. Women and children are particularly vulnerable. And despite the alarmingly high statistics we see in the few studies that exist and in Médecins Sans Frontières’ (MSF) own clinical data, this is thought to be only the tip of the iceberg. The full magnitude of the problem of FSV in PNG is not understood due to the lack of disaggregated data available and the challenges survivors face in coming forward. Family and sexual violence is a medical emergency and must be treated as such. FSV survivors can suffer both acute and long-lasting medical and psychological consequences. If they do not receive adequate and timely care, there can be grave ramifications for the individual and potentially also the community. Médecins Sans Frontières has been working with FSV survivors in PNG since 2007 and promotes the provision of ‘5 essential services1’ to all FSV survivors in one session as a minimum level of care. While the national and provincial governments have made improvements in the medical care of FSV survivors, there is still a very long way to go. Currently, due to the scarcity of Family Support Centres (FSCs) across the country, access of FSV survivors to all of the essential services in a timely manner is not assured.
