Making Port Moresby Safer for Women and Girls: A Scoping Study

This report shows that the effect of the violence prevalent in Port Moresby, as it is experienced by women and girls in particular, restricts their access to and enjoyment of the important economic opportunities presented by the markets. Existing protections and systems have been manifestly unsuccessful in stemming the violence. This report also reveals that violence is not the only risk encountered by women in the markets of Port Moresby. The presence of multiple risks can narrow the opportunities for women and girls to access markets and for the women and the community as a whole to reap the economic and social benefits.
