As a Papua New Guinean I am embarrassed that our government is turning a blind eye to this issue. One day when I get educated enough I will do my best to help them .. My poor sisters and mothers 😢
Man, I almost started crying when the girl said, "I'm not educated. I dropped out at grade three. I don't have...enough knowledge." Her face...I hope these women are good today. And all the new ones.
I felt the same Ericsson when she uttered that sentence. I could see all the desperation in her face. I just hope with all my heart her situation is changed
This is really scary to me. A guy from this country tried to pursue me and he was sending me all these nice pictures of his country and telling me how great it was. He moved very fast and he used to blow up my phone. I ghosted him because he was being way too persistent. Thank God I did.
😭😭😭💔💔💔 I am crying so hard for my sisters in PNG. I grew up seeing violence and abuse and deaths from the men. The abuse was everywhere even as a young girl growing up. I barely escaped two attempt rapes 😌. It's so heart-breaking. I am now safe living overseas thank God, but i feel for all the women in PNG. God please heal this. 🙏😢
"she killed her husband in retaliation " *camera at teh same time shows her in prison humming and smiling prepping meals* i dont condone killing but that dude had it coming
Savage ideology. It is none of my business. Those interfering in or trying to westernize this or any culture are imposing oppression. Let nations be. Obey the universal law of non interference. You must have a stable country before you offer help to others. But most don't think before the react so irrationally. There are so many billionaires who want lift a finger to help the people of PNG. They could solve all problems by throwing money at it. They want civil unrest on earth. They are in a battle to own the world. They are succeeding. They are deprived of morality as they feel the elite are somehow exept. Morality cares not who you are.
I'm from PNG. That's the reason why I studied very hard and got my degree. No men can insult or hurt a woman who has a degree and can fend for herself.
What a beautiful country, absolutely stunning. Shame the violence of the men have to ruin it. I would love it if my wife made enough to support the family and I could stay at home with the kids. Why these fools are insecure about a woman making some money is very odd.
Yes the country is very beautiful 850 language and islands. Half the land and the islands are not discovered. But because of all that's happening. It's a power that the men holds pass down from generations of fathers to them. They call them pillars of the next generation
EXACTLY!..It starts w our little boys. A lot of cultures have been STRIPPED OF THEIR PRIDE AND WHO THEY ARE AS A PEOPLE...WESTERN CULTURE has done this over and over...Same problems on US reservations ect.
Amen ...I'm from PNG and believe in education and walking that talk.... it's a process, it's going to take time but we're doing something.... thank you for seeing the issue in a broader perspective...
@@sweetjane7375 you can't blame the ignorance of thinking this was Haiti lol... They forgot to lie and say there was a slave trade to the Polynesian Islands. I guess the historians never counted on us having videos showing that black people are indigenous to this complete Western hemisphere. Two distinctive peoples indeed.
Trust me, women are finally learning. I feel that in another 20-30 years, marriage may decrease substantially as women no longer need to be dependent on men. I wish I had been born during THAT time as opposed to this one for sure ~
Wow.. this is called slavery..I'm not saying kill Anyone. But I'm not mad at that lady who killed her husband...I just hate she had to go to prison for it. He had it coming years ago! Praying for them all!
What a bunch of losers are they that weak!!!!!!! That they need to beat on women and children my heart goes out to these women life is hard enough there without being so completely abused
Watching Mary succeed made me happy 🙌 I wish nothing but a lot of blessings towards the women & hope one day the men will change to help another human being
Melanie Wilson I agree, but this is not America. These women will get killed and the husbands won’t have remorse, and probably be let out after 5 years because the prisons of over populated
I know. The endemic violence will partly be on both sides of course and probably both parents beat the children too. It is not as simple only just men hit women but that is certainly the area to start with. I am not sure that even in the West she would have avoided jail although we do have cases where years of beatings, a woman snacks and sometimes tha can be provocation although normally it is supposed to be immediate provocation to provide any kind of amelioration.
I wish these men could marry Kenyan women especially from Central Kenya.....these women can't stand nonsense especially from grown up men.....Its high time women are enlightened that there more to life than a man....if I may emphasise they is more to life than marriage especially if its an abusive one......as women lets become independent especially in the mind.....
That we should do but unfortunately, in PNG, you could be married off in an arranged marriage without even knowing it! Then as they are paid with the brideprice, it means that you are literally bought by your husband and he owns you! If you castrate or even beat your husband, their family, extended family and even their village folks will retaliate for their family member
I bawled on the introduction. I know this. I experience this. I pray for my country. A recent news about a young mother who was tortured for a week and died leaving two children under the age of two, sent a nationwide outcry. This caveman mentality NEEDS to stop in my country. I cry with my country woman. 😢😥 Domestic Violence should be everyone's responsibility to fight against.
Remember MEN, you need WOMEN MORE than woman need men. Women live longer when living without a man . Men live a worse life and die sinner when they are single . Be respectful to women and you will be rewarded with a longer happier life. That is the circle of life.
I feel so sorry for them. There are too many like her being abused and killed. This is just sad all over. The man who decapitated his wife’s friend feels no remorse. He could have contacted AIDS because of his own infidelities and not from his wife. Sad life all around.
Domestic violence against women is not always about upbringing & that's something I learned through first-hand experience. There are a number of factors that contribute to domestic violence & how we go about putting an end to it seems elusive to say the least. Perhaps that's in part due to the fact that domestic violence doesn't play by any rules in that it's not always related to religion, race, financial security or the lack there of, upbringing or education but more often than not ego/pride is involved. It both sickens & saddens me that it's so widely spread & seems to be on the rise in so many places including the so called 'civilized western world'. Sadly the term 'patriarchal society' has taken on a very sinister undertone.
Ngozi why are the colonized so weak that they can’t organize their life and live better? Weak men will never build nations but be happy to be colonized.
When it comes to relationships or marriage, women and men has equal respect,love,loyalty and responsibilities. This culture is all about abusive relationships and polygamy that benefits men of their perverted desires. I'm wondering about this men what they feel when they saw their own father beating their own mother. And I'm also wondering what kind of father selling their daughters(brides price) knowing that she's going to be abuse and maltreated in the own hands of their husbands. What a shameful culture is that.
I know a woman who was abandoned with 5 kids here in US by man from Marshal Island. He has 2 other families, 15 kids total and he went back to avoid child support. They don't care there.
Al Jazeera you've go your translations wrong. if you're going to do a story on culture and customs that are complex make sure the information that you're putting out there is accurate to the T.
It is accurate. Stop trying to hide how utterly dispeakable PNG is when it comes to domestic violence! And now? With the death of the young Jennelyn, now what say you? Stop trying to sweep it under the carpet and enable it
@@philomenachan1873 Such a same? Such a shame. Ignorance breeds ignorance. I will pray for you. That the demonic spirit will be removed from you. In Jesus name
I'm from the neighboring country as PNG (Solomon Islands), if domestic abuse was going on in the home...towards our sisters, aunties, or nieces, the whole family will be hunting that male abuser. I remember as a kid, my aunt's ex-boyfriend (abuser) never set foot in the whole island or the capital, because my uncles were looking for him ....and thinking of tying him up and throwing him to the salt water crocodiles....
I'am sorry my beautiful brown Queens, for the massive abuse you are enduring.This will end!!! Papua New Guinea you need to clean your House, because it's negative energy and it affects to the living planet! Get it together Now!!!!Love and Peace!!!!!
In my parents country there is a saying, "if a man hits you once and you do nothing he will do it again". If a man hits you once wait until he falls asleep and put a knife to his face and tell him the next time he thinks of hitting you, that you'll cut his manhood off. He will never hit you again lol.
In recent times in my lifetime wife battering was common enough and was combatted by the husband being warned off or punished by the wifes family ( usually brothers ). Then the state got involved but this wasn't effective until judges were trained properly in family law and police and justice systems got a fair share of women working in them. It still is a problem and usually ends up badly for the woman unless timely action is taken. Some women return to a persistent wife beater against outside advice sometimes with fatal results.
I'm one of the victims of abuse ,my husband bit me up and say nasty words about me and hate my biological family I feel what its like to be abused by man
I did suffered violence and went to Ruth house but so happy I left that life 10years ago.I just pray for the woman and children still living in violence.
But when they show documentaries like this it will scare people to go there. I travel alone as single female and after this I can't have PNG on my list.
The laws need to be changed where domestic violence is concerned. If it's proven that a man has been physically abusive to a woman several times, then she has every right to defend herself, even if it means him losing his life. Women should not have to serve time in jail for that.
man PNG is a scary scary place... I was just watching a video about how tribes there go and kill each other with guns, and now youtube reccomends this.
I think that the real men from the village (those that respect women) should grab each one of these abusers and give them some of their own medicine; and then, ask them if they like it. I think they would think twice before they abuse those difensles ladies.
The problem of Gender Base Violence as portrayed here in this document should be understood from the Cultural context. There is no cannibalism practice here in this part of our country as many would perceived. GBV is a societal problem and should be understood well from gender power relation perspective
Wow....it sad that men think this way. You have mothers, sisters too. This is just not right. If one does not value another human being only depicts he does not understand or know who God is.

The “uneducated” woman staying at the shelter has such a nice voice and seemed more intelligent than she even realized.
I said the same. I thnk she's had it beaten into her tht she's not smart and she sadly believes tht. This is so sad man😢
I'm sure she needs to hear this...more often than she's ever heard it.
I agree. She may only have had 3 years of school but she is very bright. She should not do herself down like that. I wish her well.
It's sad when a swan cannot recognize herself.
