Safe Cities: Port Moresby, Papua New Guinea 2012

- Опубликовано: 7 фев 2025
- Port Moresby is one of five pilot cities -- along with Quito, Kigali, New Delhi and Cairo -- participating in UN Women's Global Programme "Safe Cities Free of Violence against Women and Girls." Operating successfully since its December 2010 launch, the project, entitled "Port Moresby: A Safer City for Women and Girls," aims to develop, test, evaluate and disseminate a model that makes cities safer for women and girls.
Port Moresby -- Papua New Guinea's capital -- is characterized by poor and crowded living conditions, a growing population with high urban migration, increasing cultural diversity and ethnic tensions, and a widening gap between rich and poor. It has been ranked as one of the five least-liveable cities in the world based on scores in five areas: stability, health care, culture and environment, education and infrastructure. Large natural resource extraction projects in mining, petroleum and liquefied natural gas have generated solid increases in GDP over the last decade, but economic growth has not translated into the development of the country or its people.
The city's violent crime threatens the safety and security of all citizens, particularly women and girls, who live in fear of physical and verbal sexual harassment and assault and are too often victims of these and other forms of gender-based violence. The city's marketplaces are among the most unsafe public spaces where gambling, drinking, drug sales and consumption, rape, gang rape, sexual harassment, intimidation and ethnic fights occur on a daily basis. Consequently, the markets provide the key entry point for mobilising residents to make their city safer by deepening the understanding of every citizen's rights and responsibilities and promoting women's leadership and participation in efforts to improve governance in the markets.

The negativity in the comments and the dislikes to this great video work is shocking me...
Thank you "UN Women" for your work and this video. Thank you to ALL people in this video speaking openly about this topic.
Also thank you to the beautiful Alenthia Jimenez for her commitment!
Don't give up! My heart is with you all!

My mother is Fijian with buiniga ("frizzy") hair texture. In America, she's often mistaken for African-American but, hey, we're all from Africa and proud of it. Fiji is the easternmost island of Melanesia. We've intermingled with some Polynesians, particularly the Tongans and Samoans. In Lau Group islands, you'll see the mixture among the local Fijians. On the eastern side of Fiji, such as Viti Levu, dark-skinned and frizzy hair predominates.
As a Papua New Guinean woman i feel ashamed of this footage and what my country men are doing to women....we women are now standing up and saying no to violence...although it might take a while to get the message out there we are determined that the time will come where women can walk the streets without fear of being raped or harrassed...where women can speak their minds...where women are free! ...and i mean not only PNG but in other countries who are facing the same issues...having said that i am proud to be a Papua New Guinean...i love my country, my culture and my traditions...and to those who have criticised my country yes we can better manage our wealth given the time...we are only a young nation and there is a long way to go to develop. May GOD bless this nation!
Im here in middle east bt im from africa,one day talked with two guys from Papua New guinea bt the look more Africans

All black people are African one way or the other. They left Africa a long time ago. We gotta stop letting people divide us. We are one.
Mary Nauga
Thank you for your open mind and text. You have my heart with you.
Greetings from Germany
I left from sentani, my hometwon, 1997. I dont know whats going on ever since, but i'm planning to head back as soon as i finish my work in sydney. Yeah its been nearly 15 years i left my hometown, missed that old times!
Papuans, i want to say you what i think about you, few papuans who will see my comment here. Think about your ancestors, how they lived not so long ago. Poverty did not existed. Some Drugs or alcohol weren't used by your ancestors. They were happy in the forest, they gave birth to you. You are awesome people with incredible mental and physical skills, you are strong. I think most of you (as me) love sensations, aventure, fun, to discover new things, to explore, to take risks. You are certainly interested in the western culture, that was new for you since not long ago. But think about western culture, you have to work to earn pieces of paper we call money, but there is not always enough money. And the time we spend working we are not free. If you are working you can't do something you really want. And at the end of the day you are tired. And we sell our lifetime working for paper sheets, and then when we are old we can't work anymore and we can't do exiting things. The elder in the western society (most of them) think of their lives they had wasted being slaves to money. And regret. Think about how poisonous western culture is For our health and for our wealth.
I personally want to leave this modern cture, i want to live as my europeans ancestors did long time ago, i want to hunt like them, to think like them, but i will never find their culture because it has been lost. You PAPUANS have the chance to have YOUR culture still alive. Your ancestors gift to you. So don't lose it. And if you want, break free from your chains and live like your wealthy and powerful ancestors. They will be proud of you.
kaf230able I totally agree with u! The problems are so evident and extremely easy to solve.. Western culture is diseased and poisonous
Exactly
Port Moresby is our city, please be shame of our rude and nonsense behaviour in the city. Our city will show our image to foreigner as a whole. Government must put action into getting youths opportunities to reduce such violence towards our mothers and women.
It is sad that the women are being violated against, I always learned from my parents to respect others. Hopefully we all can come together as pacific islanders and make that change..
Do Not even Think , ever to visit this country, just a loss of money. People are extremely Rude, loads of rubbish in the streets and wild dogs. Just one Mall in Port Moresby, very dated and broken elevators, also items are overpriced. I spent 6 months here for my company with my girlfriend Juli. Forget going out at night, we hired Two private security guards and driver, streets are NOT safe dued to endemic locals on Alcoholist problems and drugs, it is very common to spot locals men completely Naked. If they see my blonde girl, they act as dirty sexual perverts. Corruption is everywhere.. police department is useless, cow meat is terrific, just pork or chicken, fish is ok. This country is Disgusting in all way, locals live as tribes, with a cheap mentality- NEVER think of going out alone at night in Port Moresby, Never. And keep your values in Hotel or Resort safe, cash and gold and watch, crime is normal here. So trust this feedback, this land lives in Total Anarchy State, and no signs of improvement what so ever. So we were here, actually I was for job purposes, most repulsive place on Earth. Go to New Zealand instead.
Port Moresby is the #1 most dangerous cities in Oceania
I was born in west papua, part of indonesia. I've seen this kind of life before when i was 6 or 7 years old, people get drunk everyday, sitting in the middle of street, yelling, shouting.
PNG needs to make a wake up call to rid violence for the safety of Love ones
Dear sir/madam please forgive @Molossian's comment, but I will try to answer a tiny portion of your curiosity about us . I am of course a Melanesian from Papua New Guinea and we do share phenological features with Africans in general to put it plain, we were not brought from Africa by the Europeans sailors but migrated from Africa to present day New Guinea Island and have inhabited it for approximately 60,000 years or so. During that journey our genetic make up has changed quiet substantially :)
Toktok well said, without insults.

53 Who has put faith in the thing heard from us?*+
And as for the arm of Jehovah,+ to whom has it been revealed?+
2 He will come up like a twig+ before him,* like a root out of parched land.
No stately form does he have, nor any splendor;+
And when we see him, his appearance does not draw us to him.*
3 He was despised and was avoided by men,+
A man who was meant for* pains and was familiar with sickness.
It was as if his face were hidden from us.*
He was despised, and we held him as of no account.+
4 Truly he himself carried our sicknesses,+
And he bore our pains.+
But we considered him as plagued, stricken by God and afflicted.
5 But he was pierced+ for our transgression;+
He was crushed for our errors.+
He bore the punishment for our peace,+
And because of his wounds we were healed.
until this year is port moresby not safe for working expats?
foreigners can be eaten by locals

huh?!
When u have a brk down in culture then addictions become a issue as well
what do you mean which part of polynesians..can yu tell mi please.am from west papua the western half of the island new guinea
I beg your pardon madam/sir I was only stating that Melanesia along the coastal regions were accessible to seafarers, the Polynesians had contact with Melanesia in various places. It is then relevant to say they do share a tiny portion of genetics called the Polynesian motif instilled in Melanesia. I know that the blonde hair feature is exclusive to Melanesian and aboriginals and is a different genetic marker from European gene. By the way Fijians are mixed Melanesian and Polynesian :)
WE PNG not need to worry..see it's only 41 years..unlike other countries they are 100 plus years of self governance..we will change the country as the process of development take it process..We need to have strong legal system, scrutinize bureaucracies, responsible citizenship, honest and good leadership will bring changes..look at USA, UK, European, Asian, they were once came from a stone age to modernisation..I don't regret as an educated person..I see process and challenges to step on..if you are speaking because of your fore father did, you're not near to them...I believe my forefathers removed the Europeans who tried to step into my land. They removed and preserved the land and now we are a free people .I see we have much to enjoy then to complain and see from the social indicator that is 0.5% below other developed countries in the world..we are rich that's why the world is watching closely..Keep focus and aim high...
jim, thumbs up for your optimism and reflexivity!
Owiika Mam-angle .
Owiika Mam-angle the drunk habbit is the main problem.. n a chance for the local to get a good job.. I think the problem that Ur country face like Papua Province in Indonesia..
amazing video
I would say the video is quiet baised but I think those negative comments are good. Something for us to think about and work for the better. Every country has to to go through the Development Stages and PNG is of no exception. Dont just Judge the Book By its Cover..
no. they are part of the 12 tribes of israel of the bible. Jamaicans, haitians, and many that are scattered throughout the caribbean are also the biblical hebrews that were scattered throughout the world.
Absolute truth my brotha. One love
okey, now bring papuan people to israel, n told them that !
Works out the environment of it scenery
Like to know how the city life is
Indonesia is about to colonize PNG. Hopefully, the SouthEast Asians will respect their cultures, and develop the country to stand on its own. I'd rather Indonesia colonize them than a European country.
Indonesia come ..you death weight soldiers sent to PNG and will reap off your flesh ....
Corn is Best not in this lifetime 😉
Selamat mlm
Indonesia has no intention of invading anyone. West Papua is better than PNG, so, no thanks.
no they're not, instead just protecting women and children, indonesian make papuan women their minister in cabinet, hows thats happen..
Europeans won't change that country only the native people out there has the power to change it
You're right, I feel the same way.
Just to know some ideas
Papuans, Melanesians and Africans are black people. Micronesians and some Polynesians are mixed black people.
yes they have dark skin and kinky hair, but their skull shapes are completely different. the papuans are related the australian aborigines.
Unfortunate the city is such a mess in a country that is so beautiful.
I get angry & frustrated when I see videos of the various ways females are abused and intimidated. We need an army of strong and educated women to protect mothers and daughters taking care of families. I pray for the day we collaborate and support all organizations that make main streets and market places, bed rooms and board rooms safe so both genders can grow to their full capacity. STOP VIOLENCE AGAINST WOMEN; don't make our bodies a battle field for economical gains. Take a stand. SPEAK UP.
So nice

Badly need modern infrastructure, medical needs and such.
I really don't want to see people who don't respect other people.
PNG is suffering from financial diabetes. A rich country suffering in the mist of plenty. There is complete lack of financial management at all level of leadership.
It all comes down to family discipline, also family planning can help the parents to reproduce 2-3 kids only which they can watch their kids' movement carefully and discipline them properly.
Well join the army and protect these horrible people from violence, rape, humans right for good or wrong.
come and expore the land of the unexpected,,,,,the bird of paradise
Yes a high frequency of Melanesian ethnic groups mostly around the off shore islands and sea side have genetic affinity mostly with asians and polynesian, called the polynesian motiff suggesting, we have mingled with them after our ancient journey to the Island of New Guinea. It is not present in all melanesians especially in west papuans and the highlands.
a very unique race of people made up of 800 plus diferent language and its caltures and ways ofliving is different.... come and explore and the bird of paradise,,,
The situation could be accredited to the number of men in commercial employment, I myself am not from Port Moresby but in Goroka there is a vast difference between the number of men working in the commercial scene. I can't understand why most of the customer interface positions in stores are held by women, maybe there is a level of comparability with the female gender but some of these positions can still be given to men prevent them from aimlessly roaming the streets, committing crimes.
there are custom in papua, men are like lion, and women are lioness..
Molasses (Molassian) is an internet racist. Brother bunungamdavid, thanks for your clarification of black people around the world.
So head hunting in PNG was acceptable?
Instead of giving money to israel or Egypt the USA should've aidd PNG. It would show better.
Wow Food World & Stop N Shop are over there in Papua New Guinea? Hmmm, I see!
Most of the previous comments are lacking a bit of insight and unable to connect the dots as to who these people are about quite a bit of what has been discussed these people. The fact that most of the history books that had/has been presented to the world, left out key pieces to the puzzle, as to who they are. The largest land mass in the Pacific Ocean (Australia ) once sustained a black kinky haired people when the white man arrived in Australia. They recorded that there was a African presence among the many tribes that they encountered. These tribes were systematically wiped out, and the Aborigines who we see today with straight hair, survived in greater numbers. (This is where I believe that the Asian type came about.) Knowing that there were also tribes of a African type people inhabiting Tasmania and Australia, at the time of the white man's arrival there, also proves to be more than likely that the African type were the progenitors of the Australian Aborigines (who the world is so much more familiar with). However, the African type must also be labeled, Australian Aborigine. The features of some of the people of Papua New Guinea reveal a lot of the same facial characteristics of the present day Australian Aborigines. Some of the same facial characteristics of the people of Papua resemble the Samoan type in neighboring islands in the pacific, which also includes the dark skinned East Indian type. The African type people of the Andaman Islands (just south of India) build boats that resemble boats built by the Samoans and Hawaiians and they claim to be the progenitors of the bodysurfing water-boards. Presently, the people of Papua range from dark skinned with kinky hair, to light skinned with straight hair.
yes you are right, we aregenetics ethopia,,,, we can fit into any climate,,, thank God we are wounderfully made..
😪 the leaders & laws need changing. Papua New Guineans can claim Austudy in Australia, so Papua New Guinea Government should be apart of Australian Government
Beautiful fea ce
R Maura
wow a lot of them look like africans...i thought they were supposed to be closer genetically to asians/polynesians?
Well, your guess is wrong.
It would be wise to just beef up security. Don't allow people to sexually abuse the women because they are the backbone of every nation. A security presence that will be brave and intervene if they see such nonsense can solve that problem. But they must be trained and paid well. In fact, hire some of the area boys to do it and be vigilantes let the community raise funds and if the market women are making money they can pay them for their safety. Its not an impossible task.
Maan, how can the citizens feel safe when the ppl who are trying to protect them (thegovernment and police force) are completely corrupted? Sore lo PNG yah
Are you Melanesian.
There is nothing wrong with aid, what matters is how it is being used. I do not trust the PNG government with money, it will most likely be misused. Nations become too dependent on aid and that is not good like PNG instead of being innovative we will be dependent. "Give a men a fish and he will live a another day, but teach a man how to fish and he will never go hungry" something like that teach them how to be independent that is the true goal not to spoon feed them.
png unmodernize need to civilize man to roll in this generation mostly government need to respond to this issues Png is a freedom country respect mama na ol man blo Png
simply recruit more police and remove bad corps who are incapable of performing their duties
The men and women look the same facially
This is really hapening in P N G.
time to hire LAPD!! I'm sayin... or call in city police from japanese airport security wit big tall ass bamboo staffs to enforce order..
First of all guns are banned in Papua New guinea. It is not part of our constitution.
There is no solid proof to what you are saying concerning your belief that the first people are from Asia. (Dead Sea Scrolls) Why not read the account of Genesis chapter 1 and see where God put the first man and woman Adam & Eve, it was nowhere near Asia, more like Africa or The Middle East. Africa is a very big continent, and the Middle East was probably attached to it before the flood.
The only Africans I know with a full head or hair are the Berbers such as Moroccans, Lybians, Ethiopians and Somalis. All of whom are relatves of the Arabs. The Negro variety barely grow hair. Some are kind like the Kenyans but appearance wise they are generally with short kinky hair.
Watch part 2 of this Safe Cities project in PNG.

Women should be respect and treat them fairly as they are God,s created creations,however men use to deprived their(women) rights and freedom of move,speech and etc,therefore I kindly ask each an every man to be respect them as they are also God,s image....

Everybody has land and relatives in PNg. If nothing is happening for you in the city then it's time to go back to the village. A simple but honest life is better than living like a criminal and beggar in the city!
1:57 look MesoAmerican for a reason.
shame shame who ever you are posting everything this way make a change here if you want it to be safe do something this home where we belong
em tru..
Go to the west side of papua, cross country and you'll be find the defferent thing.
You are a who! nah brotha..we are the biblical israelites. God's physical chosen people
maybe png should stayed part of austrailia
yeah, and be part of their glorius aborigin history, i wonder how many papuan and their culture left after a hundred years
Show you? Just read a little. You´ll find the answer, son.
Jesus Jesus shine n P.N.G salvation healing health knowledge understanding etc... I pray Amen
Wants me
What evidence do you have for this?
I wonder if a walkin
hard on like Gary Glitter would travel
to the PNG market?
Sweet potatos are
legal and consumed
in PNG.
The gangs at the market needs a
Carismatic new leader of the gang!
Atleast we know how to spell.

some are still acting as uncivilized and really they do have attitude problems.so, whom do we blame here?We should blame the whole system from higher levels to the grassroots.very sorry, and it is a sickness which we have to eradicate.
Aye wantoks PNG represent 1💙

Are these New Guinea islanders settlers from Africa? They look like Africans and even sound like them when the island is so far from Africa.
No we do not “sound like them” there are over 800 languages in PNG what do you mean?
you just proved right then and there that you have no clue. It's simple dude.pay attention to history.Israelites were exiled from Israel around 500-600 bc to babylon and various other REMOTE places. The papuans didn't get to the papuan islands and other various islands UNTIL about 500 bc!That's when the 1st settlements of Papuans In S.E asia date back to. Not to forget because israel broke God's commandments they would be led into poverty, be oppressed and under captivity EVERYWHERE they went
*rat tat tat
oh? well show me some facts son
what about europe
7:09 Joseph Tondop enough with the bullshit excuses.
Kaup
That's not trie. Those features are entirely Melanesia. Many Papuans have blonde hair like Aborigines and their hair is straight and frizzy. Plus not even all Polynesians are Mongoloid. For instance Fijians have course to frizzy hair like Papuans. Many of their hair is black however unlike papuans who have many blondes. Look at Samoans and Fijians and how they differ. They are BOTH Polynesian, not Melanesian but one looks Tahitian and the other Oriental. Papuans cary also! That's what's special!
Most Papua New guineans, the ones Im guessing you're talking about the ones that look more african, or closing more related to Asians then Africans
What can we expect from a savage nation
