Over the last 3 years, there has
been a false picture set up in PNG media on the violence to women in Port
Moresby markets. It all started at the hands of lesbian activist Elizabeth Cox
who has a history of making false stories to advance her own career.
She has painted a grossly false
picture of Gordons market with claims of men pushing in and stealing money from
women vendors. The claim was made two years ago of two rapes which was even
debunked by the then Minister of Police.
Now there is a new trick in the Post Courier dated 14
November of raskol gangs of Gordons Market vowing to help the police to clean
up the market.
The media report claimed that
Gordons bus stops and market are notorious for petty crimes such as bag
stealing, valuables taken from locked vehicle, harassing of the elderly, sale
of stolen goods, drugs, disorderly behaviour and even daylight rape attempts.
The raskol gangs are reported to have stated that they
have had enough and are helping the police with an interest in having projects
funded to turn them into useful members of the community.
So that is what it is all about.
It may be that young men have turned up all over the town to take advantage of
the scam. They claim to be raskols based on Gordons market.
I have been going to Gordons
market for over 8 years to buy fruit and vegetables. In that time I have seen
one bag snatch and a man being bashed by a woman. One man was stabbed at the bus stop.
