AIDS HOLISTICS LED WOMEN'S RIGHTS


AIDS Holistics was the first care organization to raise the issue of women's rights in the national HIV/AIDS response of Papua New Guinea.

The founder of AIDS Holistics used to give focus to the abuse of girls as the Senior Subject Master and Deputy Head Master in PNG High Schools in the period 1993-1996.

Boarding high schools were very much under the control of boys. Girls lived in their dormitories often like frightened rabbits. At one school in Morobe province, the boys claimed the right to rape any girl found outside her dormitory fence after lights out.

This awareness has continued in AIDS Holistics from 2002 to the present time. The founder continues to focus on violence against women by men.

The organization is involved with abuse of wives and girls. We have helped a number of women find shelter.

We have learned the problems of women facing violent men seeking to control their bank accounts, ATM cards and superannuation.

We learned of men who harrassed their ex-girl-friends and ex-wives outside their workplace. At times, they bashed and forced them to go with them. They would arrive on pay day when the woman had her ATM card.

There were men who were cunning enough to make friends with all the family spread over Port Moresby and could locate the woman by a dozen phone calls. She had no place to hide.

One woman hid at my house for 4 months while the boy-friend turned Port Moresby upside down looking for her. He was a violent policeman who thought he was above the law.

We have links with the Police Sexual Violence Unit and learned of the value of the interim restraining order. The woman can still be at the mercy of the man, particularly if he is a policeman.

There has been considerable effort from AusAID lesbian activists to stop the founder of AIDS Holistics by spreading a message that he was an abuser of women and girls.

They could not handle the fact that the key promoter of women's rights was a MAN. All men are supposed to be bastards. Lesbian activists do not want the solution to be happy and stable families.

But the hate campaign was never true and has been unsuccessful in stopping the AIDS Holistics focus on the rights of women and girls.
