Profound Challenges in Papua New Guinea

  • The population doubling every generation
  • High level of mythology, distrust and cultural taboos about contraception 
  • Very difficult access to family planning services due to terrain
  • Significant sexual violence to women
  • Limited international aid going to PNG, Australia’s closest neighbour.
