Support to family and sexual violence unit

July 6, 2020

First meeting between UNDP and FSVU Director Delilah Sadeka and Kerrie Ruffles from the Australian Federal Police.

UNDP will provide much needed support to the Royal PNG Constabulary’s Family and Sexual Violence Unit (FSVU) in their efforts to stop gender-based violence in the community.

A meeting held recently with FSVU Director, Delilah Sadeka and UNDP’s Governance team, saw discussion on ways that UNDP would assist FSVU to continue their work on preventing gender-based violence, provide operational support to maintain safe accommodation for victims and their families, and drive community outreach on gender-based violence prevention within the COVID-19 response.

Looking forward, UNDP will provide further support by purchasing and setting up two offices, establishing a police information management system which will capture data used in case management and operational support.
