Papua New Guinea has one of the highest rates of domestic violence in the world: two out of three women report abuse, and in the Western Highlands Provinces, one NGO survey found 97 percent of women had been attacked by male relatives. This Al Jazeera 101 East episode travels from middle-class homes in Port Moresby to villages governed by tribal custom, where men use bush knives and axes as weapons and the concept of "domestic violence" has no legal or cultural precedent among the country's roughly 800 tribes. The film cites the country's chief justice, who says violence against women and children makes up half the nation's criminal caseload, and notes that only three of Port Moresby's nine main police stations have units for family violence. Interviews follow survivors, campaigners, and staff at safe houses set up with UNICEF support, alongside the UN special rapporteur who calls the problem a "pervasive phenomenon." The film closes on the gap between these small interventions and the scale of a crisis still concentrated in rural districts with almost no resources.
