Bougainville Women Human Rights Defenders
Our HWC programs continually recruit young women and girls (school leavers) to the BWHRDN (Bougainville Women Human Rights Defenders Network) to empower them to live in safety and security in the vulnerable years of adolescence in rural community of Haku.
The rate of rape and teenage pregnancies is still high but we are making an impact with this BWHRDN network and its activities.
HWC encourages ‘group membership’ to our organisation and this is gaining popularity with youth groups. They pay K15 group membership each year and can enjoy our facilities for free and run their youth programs, meetings, video evenings, fundraisers and join HWC in all our training, forums and activities. This facility is offering safe choices for women and girls – and both genders to socialise in a safe welcoming environment.
