NEW DAY DAWNS ON GENDER

The National 12 September 2012

After a long decade of gender inequality in the Papua New Guinea HIV/AIDS response, there is now a balance.

We can thank the removal of foreign lesbians who focused on rights of women and girls but did little to change the awareness of men.

The strategy was to blame men. Women and girls would be trained in their rights but then go home to be bashed by their husbands and fathers.

I have rights !! Whack. Ahhhhh !!

A perfect scenario for a foreign lesbian takeover. A self-fulfilling prophesy. No awareness for men. They were the enemy whose job it was to bash women.

But there is now a breath of fresh air in the National HIV/AIDS response. According to the media report, a survey of the National AIDS Council has shown gaps in the program.

That means that key positions were in the hands of foreign and national lesbians. Awareness programs were for women with men excluded.

AusAID played the same trick with awareness programs for the PNGDF three years ago.

They conducted programs for wives of soldiers but not soldiers. Please click:

AUSAID LESBIANS TRICK PNGDF

The AusAID lesbians wanted the soldiers to just keep bashing their wives.

We will keep watch from this time to make sure that the lesbian agenda has not gone underground in a massive re-strategizing.

In the national response, there will be a balance between men and women who manage the gender awareness programs. That is a pleasant change. There will be more gender programs for men.

There should be a focus on both rights and responsibilities.
