Sistas, Let's Talk

How the Haus Meri in Papua New Guinea is being transformed to give women a political voice


Listen Later

Have you heard of the Haus Man? In Papua New Guinea, it's a ceremonial house for men only where rules are made to keep peace and harmony in the village.

But if no women are allowed, how can these decisions be in the best interests of women? And could there be another way?

The Haus Meri is an important space for women, and there's a growing movement to see it gain a political voice both at the community and the national level.

In this episode, three women talk about how the old can blend with the new.

This week's episode of Sistas, Let's Talk is a repeat of the show broadcast on 18th July 2024
