| dc.description.notes | Outlines the current situation of domestic violence and the official response in Papua New Guinea. It has been estimated that 70 per cent of women experience domestic violence in that country. The payment of bride price, polygamy and cross-cultural marriages are considered factors that influence the prevalence of violence. Although violence against women and children is against the law, police remain reluctant to intervene in such incidents. Perpetrators are only charged when the injuries are life threatening or the woman is killed. Similar procedures are followed when the victim is a child, unless it is a woman who commits the offence. The author, a Chief Inspector in the Royal Papua New Guinea Constabulary, proposes the development of programmes and strategies to reduce violence. | en |
