Coalition for Change PNG Inc. - Employer Profile

Coalition for Change PNG Inc. (CFC PNG) is a community based not for profit advocacy group launched in November 2007 to address the issue of gender based violence, particularly violence in the home.

CFC PNG aims to make a positive difference by working with organisations with similar aims to eliminate violence, and, to change the attitudes of individuals so that everyone, especially women and children are treated with respect and dignity.

CFC PNG’s priority after it was formed was to seek legislative and policy reform to curb domestic violence. It prepared the draft Family Protection bill, which it submitted to the Government through the Department of Justice & Attorney General. On 18th September 2013, the National Parliament passed the Family Protection Act. The Family Protection Act makes domestic violence a criminal offence. It also provides victims of domestic violence the legal avenue to seek protection under it. The Act is gender neutral, which means, either spouse or partner in a heterosexual intimate relationship is entitled to seek protection under its provisions.

The Family Protection Regulation is in the final stage of completion and CFC PNG has been running awareness of the application of the Act, commencing in the second half of this year.
