Kristen Redio Hosts First Panel Talk Show on SARV, GEDSI, FSV, and GBV.

Kristen Redio today aired its first-ever panel talk show under the series Save Mo Long SARV, GEDSI, FSV na GBV, focusing on critical issues impacting families and communities across Papua New Guinea.

Joining the panel were Head Bishop Dr. Jack Urame, Ms. Dalina Bakine from the Social Concerns Office, and Sr. Arnolda Kavanamur from the Melanesian Institute. The panelists spoke openly about the devastating effects of Sorcery Accusation Related Violence (SARV), Gender-Based Violence (GBV), and Family and Sexual Violence (FSV), while emphasizing the vital importance of Gender Equality, Disability, and Social Inclusion (GEDSI). Sr. Arnolda highlighted the Melanesian Institute's ongoing work in research, community education, and advocacy around these pressing social issues.

All three leaders shared how these issues continue to hurt families, weaken communities, and hinder development and how the church, in partnership with other organizations, is working to bring awareness, support, and solutions at both the grassroots and national levels.

The live talk show also included participation from key media partners who will help spread the message further: the Melanesian Institute, Trinity FM (Jiwaka), Catholic FM, and NBC Eastern Highlands, who will relay the program on their local frequencies.
A live audience was present to witness the powerful discussion, while many more tuned in from across PNG and abroad.

The next panel talk show is scheduled for March 27, 2025, with the topic: What does it mean to live with a disability in Papua New Guinea today? The program will explore barriers faced by persons with disabilities including stigma, lack of access to education, employment, and healthcare and discuss how organizations and the church are working together to advocate for their rights under PNG law and international commitments. Families and faith communities will also be encouraged to create inclusive and respectful spaces for all.

You can tune in to Kristen Redio on 89.1 FM on specific Thursdays at 11 a.m. for more panel talk shows and awareness programs on these vital issues.
