The Spotlight Initiative places civil society at the centre of ending violence against women and girls.
Like Eastern Highlands Family Voice, Community Development Agency is a grassroots organisation working in Papua New Guinea's Highlands Region to address violence with locally developed approaches. CDA's outreach and education programs build on the principle that for peace to be sustainable, change be community owned. Based in Simbu province, CDA sees all forms of violence in the province as interconnected and that reducing violence demands attention to the root causes.
Listen to Simin and Kaupa from CDA discuss this approach and the strategies and activities implemented by CDA to put this into practice. They share some success stories - one from the day of this interview - that show this approach is changing mindsets in Simbu province.
