Tribal Foundation continues to stand as an icon of hope for many Sorcery Accusation victims in Papua New Guinea, especially in the Highlands region and for Simbu Province, it has been one of the provinces that Tribal Foundation continues to address Sorcery Accusation Related Violence (SARV).
This year since the month of June to this day, Tribal Foundation has supported and provided food rations for more that 100 SARV survivors and victims.
This is part of a program called “Feeding Survivors” under PNG Tribal Foundation, whereby survivors who are displaced within their own traditional land, who lost homes, food gardens and live stocks through SARV are taken care of by Tribal Foundation.
The Feeding survivor program is especially in done in the Highlands Region and Morobe Province.
PNG Tribal Foundation President GT Bustin confirmed that about 187 survivors from Sinesine Yongomugl, Gumine, Kundiawa and Kerowagi in Simbu were placed under this program from June to August this month.
In Jiwaka Province, more than fifteen people who were survivors of a long-time SARV Case which is still in court including survivors in Pangia, Southern Highlands were also placed under given food rations to support their livelihood.
Mr. Bustin highlighted that Tribal Foundation continues to support victims despite minimum support from the government.
“Tribal Foundation also needs government support to continue its work in rescuing SARV survivors and victims, physical support, as well as legal support for police and courts to see more prosecutions in the country.”
Meanwhile, Tribal Foundation has recorded and dealt with 38 SARV Cases, as well as 128 arrests, nine prosecutions, thirty currently under internal investigation unit (IIU) for investigations in illegal release of suspects in cells, 64 committed to National Court and fourteen in the district from 2023-2025.
