Parkop comes to aid of women

NATIONAL Capital District Governor Powes Parkop is committed to ending violence and creating a safer city for women and girls.
He made the pledge to reinforce what has already become part of his six-point strategic action plan for the city.
Parkop, a strong advocate of gender balance and safer city for women, is joining the world yet again today to commemorate the International Women’s Day which falls on March 8 annually. Last month he donated some money raised at his inaugural gala ball at the Stanley Hotel and Suites in Port Moresby to six safe houses in the city.
“We will not tolerate any behaviour that reduces the decency and respect towards women, including violence and harassment.” He assured city dwellers he would put a stop to bad behaviour that seek to destroy the city’s reputation.
