VIOLENCE TO PACIFIC CHILDREN

Post Courier 31 July 2019

Reports in the media have come from Save the Children and Medecins Sans Frontieres on violence of PNG men to women and girls. 

There is another organization International Finance Corporation that may have a neo-Marxist focus on family. Are they the new breed of corporation that is taking up a political profile?

I fear another spate of fake news. These organizations may not be what they seem. Save the Children in Goroka once supported underage girls in sex work and condemned the care groups for refusing to provide condoms to children.

Medecins Sans Frontieres seemed to play tricks to inflate the violence statistics against men. Save the Children has just claimed their statistics were provided by unnamed NGOs. Good trick. Then there was the fake news on the rape of women in Gordon's market by UN Women.

International Finance Corporation claimed that 66% of women in Kirabati suffered intimate partner violence in their lifetimes.

There was once a report that 98% of PNG women suffer violence in the home and elsewhere. Were these organizations involved with the fake report on Buka men raping their wives? There was no such survey as advised by Mr John Momis.

Both Save the Children and Medecins Sans Frontieres have been removed from countries in Africa and the Middle East. Let us hope they are not laying claim to the Pacific nations in support of China? International Finance Corporation sounds like a suspicious operative with a hidden agenda.

They talk of discipline awareness for parents but keep the details hidden. They have no links to family awareness programs of churches. Are they anti-church, neo-Marxist or neo-Confucian?

I will keep watch and report.
