Senisim Pasin
Senisim Pasin is a culturally changing national campaign centered around our film by the same name. It takes a positive and innovative approach to the dark subject of gender-based violence and often leaves participants aspiring to be part of the movement. Senisim Pasin is built on the belief that Papua New Guinea can improve how women are valued by society, and, in fact, the change is already happening.

War on SARV.
Over the past ten years, the incidences of “sorcery accusation related violence” (SARV) in Papua New Guinea, have been increasing at alarming rates. In some provinces, these acts of violence have occurred as frequently as seven (7) times per week. The victims are almost always vulnerable women. They are tortured and if they survive, they and their children are shunned from their communities The Tribal Foundation is at the forefront of combatting this horrid form of gender-based violence
