UN: WOMEN'S AND GIRLS' ISSUES IN SCHOOLS

The country needs a holistic solution to addressing the individual needs of women and girls, a United Nations rapporteur said.

Rashida Manjoo said social, economic and cultural barriers affecting the lives of women and girls needed to be addressed.

She was invited by the PNG Government to conduct a research on violence against women in the country

She said that violence is a cultural problem and it needs a holistic approach. Education is a better way to start with. She said it will be important to introduce this as a subject in schools.

It will be very important if you introduce this to schools. She said she is encouraged by a human rights track in the National Court.

Comment: Ms Manjoo needs to examine the Personal Development program in primary and high schools in Papua New Guinea. The focus is on family and the roles and responsibilities of family members.

But there could be more focus on the women’s rights issues that include the right to equality in education and in marriage. The founder of AIDS Holistics has been doing this in Juha College and at other schools in the past. Please click:

AIDS HOLISTICS LED WOMEN'S RIGHTS

Focus has also been placed on problems of women and girls in abuse from sugar daddies, ARV treatment in rape and Mother to Child infection with HIV. But this has raised the anger of the all male Juha College Board of Management.

They want the PD program followed strictly with no focus on women and girls. The founder of AIDS Holistics has been removed from teaching Personal Development, an act that has raised the anger of all students.

But the focus in education needs also to be on family. Ms Manjoo must not be leading the nation to a gay and lesbian anti-family focus in school curriculum. That has been a key UN and AusAID agenda item in the past. Please click:

ANTI-FAMILY COUNSELLING

What suspicious little minds we have. But then we do have the world gay and lesbian agenda to refer to.  The gay and lesbian lifestyle is to become part of curriculum as we see in Massachusetts and South Africa.
