As part of its tenth anniversary, we collaborated with Femili PNG to produce a report using the client data the organisation has collected since its inception in 2014.

Survivors of family and sexual violence who turn to Femili PNG are categorized into four groups based on the abuse they have endured: intimate-partner violence (IPV), non-intimate-partner sexual violence, child abuse, and sorcery-accusation-related violence (SARV). The great majority of the 7,167 clients Femili PNG has tried to assist between 2014 and September of this year are IPV survivors: 81%. Another 3% have suffered sexual violence inflicted by someone other than their intimate partner. Only 2% are SARV victims, but the numbers are as high as 15% in our Goroka Case Management Centre. The remaining 12% are child abuse victims.
