Counselling Support thru Papua New Guinea’s First Toll-free Domestic Violence Helpline

August 26, 2015

In today’s Health Supplier Segment, let us welcome CEO Nigel Spence as he shares the various programs that they have in order to help reduce poverty for children in developing countries such as Cambodia, Laos, Myanmar, Papua New Guinea and Vietnam. Nigel has just returned from Papua New Guinea after launching a counselling helpline and spending some time with the counsellors who are staffing the phone lines where the endemic violent abuse of women and children is recognised as the most pressing human rights issues. Women are already being helped by the service, they have received 40 calls on the first day and the phones have been busy ever since.
