To provide a reference for people smuggling and trafficking in persons in PNG these terms are based upon defini$ons in the Papua New Guinea People Smuggling and Trafficking in Persons dra Bill, unless noted otherwise. “Child trafficking” refers to the aggrava$ng circumstance of trafficking commied in relaon to a person who is under 18 years of age; “Exploita"on” includes, but is not limited to, the exploitaon of the prostuon of others or other forms of sexual exploitaon, forced labour or services, slavery or pracces similar to slavery, servitude, or the removal of organs; “Forced labour” means all work or services which are exacted from any person under the menace of any penalty and for which the person has not offered himself voluntarily; “Fraudulent travel, iden"ty, approval to stay or approval to stay document” means any document that entails a person’s travel, entry, and residence into a country and that‐: a) has been made, or altered in a material way, by a person other than a person or agency lawfully authorized to make or issue the travel or identy document on behalf of a country; or b) has been issued or obtained through misrepresenta$on, corrup$on or duress or in any other unlawful manner; or c) is being improperly used by a person other than the righul holder. “Irregular migrant” refers to a person who, owing to unauthorized entry, breach of a condion of entry, or the expiry of his or her visa, lacks legal status in a transit or host country. The definion covers inter alia those persons who have entered a transit or host country lawfully but have stayed for a longer period than authorized or subsequently taken up unauthorized employment (also called clandes$ne/undocumented migrant or migrant in an irregular situa$on). The term “irregular” is preferable to “illegal” because the la(er carries a criminal connota$on and is seen as denying migrants’ humanity. 1 “People smuggling” means the inten$onal facilitaon of a person’s unlawful entry into any country, including Papua New Guinea, in order to obtain a benefit knowing or being reckless as to the fact that the person’s entry is unlawful; “Posi"on of vulnerability” refers to a situa$on in which a person has no real or acceptable alternave but to submit to the abuse involved which may result from, but is not limited to, the following circumstances:‐ (a) a person entering or residing in Papua New Guinea with fraudulent travel or identy documents or irregular work permit; or (b) a person fleeing a country as a consequence of a war or conflict or under well founded fear of persecuon; or (c) a person being internally displaced, relocated or rese(led as a result of a conflict, situa$ons of generalized violence, natural disasters or other environmental factors; or 1 No. 25 IOM Glossary on Migraon, 2nd Edi$on, 2011, p54. 7 (d) a person being subject to domes$c or gender‐based violence; or (e) a person whose extreme living condions limits or denies access to essenal public services; or (f) any physical or mental disease or disability of a person, including addicon to the use of any substance; or (g) a person who is infected by Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) or has Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome (AIDS); or (h) any other socio‐economic or cultural factors that may impair or hinder a person’s capacity to form judgments. “Sexual exploita"on” refers to any actual or a(empted abuse of a posion of vulnerability, power differenal, or trust, for sexual purposes, including, but not limited to, profing monetarily, socially, or polically from the sexual exploita$on of another.2 “Slavery or prac"ces similar to slavery” refers to the status or condion of a person over whom any or all of the powers a(aching to the right of ownership are exercised and includes, but is not limited to, the following:‐ (a) the selling, bartering or buying of a person without that person’s consent for value received or other consideraon; or (b) the selling, bartering or buying of a person under the age of 18 against the best interest of that person, for value received or other consideraon; or (c) the status of debt bondage intended as the condion of a person who has no real or acceptable alterna$ve but to provide labor or personal services or those of a person under his control to repay a debt, if the value of those services or labor as reasonably assessed is not applied towards the liquidaon of the debt or the length and nature of those services or labor are not limited and proporonate to the debt; or (d) the status of domesc servitude intended as the condion of a person who is forced, by physical or psychological coercion, to worK without any real financial reward, deprived of liberty and in a situa$on contrary to human dignity; “Smuggled person” means any person who is the object of an act of people smuggling with due regard to the status of the person under any applicable law; “Trafficking in persons” means the recruitment, transportaon, transfer, concealment, harbor or receipt of any person by: (a) threat; or (b) use of force or other forms of coercion; or (c) abducon; or (d) fraud; or (e) decep$on; or (f) use of drugs or intoxicang liquors; or (g) the abuse of office; or (h) the abuse of a relaonship of trust, authority or dependency; or (i) the abuse of a posi$on of vulnerability; or (j) the giving or receiving of payments or benefits to achieve the consent of a person having control over another person, for the purpose of exploita$on. 2 No. 25 IOM Glossary on Migraon, p. 90. 8 “Travel or iden"ty document” includes, but is not limited to, passports and entry permits; “Unlawful entry” means an entry into a country which is expressly or impliedly prohibited under any applicable law of that country; “Vic"m of trafficking” means any person who is the vicm of trafficking in persons. 9 FOREWORD As the largest Pacific naon, sharing mulple land and sea borders with neighboring states, Papua New Guinea is at risk to be used as a country of origin, transit and des$na$on for trafficking in persons and people smuggling to take place. This survey is the first of its kind in the area of trafficking in persons and people smuggling in PNG. Without a legisla$on criminalizing trafficking in persons and people smuggling in PNG, data on these crimes in PNG is very limited and to date have been based only on anecdotal accounts and media reports.

Through a holistic approach grounded in a social-ecological model, KLOM takes decisive action at the individual, community, institutional and societal levels to address entrenched negative gender norms and change the attitudes and behaviors that allow violence to continue.

  • 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.
