Voice for Change-Jiwaka Province

Incorporated in 2004, Voice for Change-Jiwaka Province has established itself as the only human and women’s rights organization in the highlands of Papua New Guinea. Based in a local community, the organization’s focus is on advocating for prevention of all forms of violence within our societies and developing the financial security of women and girls. We aim to encourage our men, boys, and leaders and women and girls to create safer homes and communities for our womenfolk. Most of our programs are now solely funded by the International women’s Development Agency. This partnership has allowed the organization to expand on our programs and develop the Young Women and Girls Program in Jiwaka Province. We are used the community based approach to encourage all citizens to promote behavior change and create respectful societies.
