FOCUS ON FAMILY - NOT WOMEN AND GIRLS

The National 18 November 2016

The solution to the high rate of gender violence is for FAMILY to have a stable home and life within the teachings of the Bible, says retired public servant William Goninau,

It is the relationship approach to prevention of family violence. Mr Goninau said he is addressing in a holistic way the FAMILY as a model.

He said the Prime Minister made a statement that people's attitudes rather than the law have to change.

Comment: I will never forget the Seventh Day Adventist Family Crusade at Jack Pidik Park in Port Moresby about 6 years ago run by the Head of Family Life Pr Simon Vetali.

He had a family come on the stage to talk about RESPONSIBILITIES. There was a husband and wife with 6 children ranging from 5 years to 18 years.

Each took the microphone and talked to the audience about their RESPONSIBILITIES. The 18 year old had an adult role in the family. 

The 5 year old child talked about helping mummy and daddy. No child talked about RIGHTS. That was taken for granted in a loving family.

Children never taught responsibilities by their parents grow up to be raskols. Family responsibilities come first followed by responsibilities to the community. 

Children learn first in families. Foreign paedophiles oppose child responsibilities and call it abuse. Stupid childless fools.
