Femili PNG

What Femili PNG does

Femili PNG is a Papua New Guinean non-governmental organization established in July 2014 that provides free, integrated case management services to survivors of family and sexual violence (FSV). The organization operates Case Management Centres in three locations — Lae (the original, opened 25 July 2014), Port Moresby (operated through the Bel Isi PNG Initiative partnership), and Goroka — and since inception has supported over 7,000 survivors through services that include safety planning, access to medical assistance, police protection, legal support, safe accommodation, psycho-social support, and assistance with protection orders.

The organization has no proprietary technology platform; it is a service-delivery NGO. Its core offerings are organized into four pillars: Case Management, Outreach and Awareness, Training and Support to partner organizations, and Advocacy. Complementary programs include the Wok Bung Wantaim initiative (building respectful relationships between men and women), Safe Accommodation through Bel Isi Ples, and capacity-building work with village court officials and corporate employees. Distribution occurs through physical case management centres, service-provider referrals (police, health, courts, civil society), self-referrals, mobile outreach teams conducting awareness sessions in schools, workplaces, and communities, and an online shop (shop.femilipng.org) selling PNG coffee, merchandise, and bilums as a fundraising channel.

The business model is donation-funded. Services are provided free of charge to survivors. Revenue streams include Australian Government aid (a founding AUD $3 million, three-year grant), UN agency grants (UNFPA capacity building, UNDP PGK 275,000 COVID-19 support), corporate partnerships (Trukai Industries, Brian Bell Group, SunRice, K92 Mining, Ok Tedi Mining, Oil Search Foundation), community fundraising (Run for Femili PNG marathon), and merchandise sales. FemiliPNG Australia, established in 2015 in Canberra, operates as a separately governed Australian support organization that raises funds and provides strategic, operational, and program support. The organization is led by CEO Daisy Plana, with a board chaired by Professor Stephen Howes and PNG's High Commissioner to Australia as Patron.

Scale indicators6 records

Recent moves9 records

Expansion highlights3 records

Others

• Project Two Mile: Project Two Mile is a social enterprise working with women in informal settlements that has donated proceeds of its Sydney International Women's Day event to Femili PNG; it sits in the same PNG women-support ecosystem but as a fundraising ally rather than a service-delivery peer.

Direct peers

• Bel Isi PNG Initiative: Bel Isi PNG Initiative is a direct operating partner that runs the Case Management Centre and Safe House in Port Moresby together with Femili PNG and provides high-quality safe house options for working women from subscribing businesses; the model (case management plus safe accommodation for FSV survivors) is directly comparable.
• Marie Stopes PNG: Marie Stopes PNG signed an MoU with Femili PNG on 24 March 2025 to strengthen support for survivors of sexual and gender-based violence; both organizations operate in Papua New Guinea serving women's health and SGBV survivor needs.
• International Justice Mission (IJM) Papua New Guinea: IJM operates in Papua New Guinea providing case management and aftercare for survivors of violence and trafficking, addressing overlapping survivor populations and service delivery models within the same FSV/juridical support landscape.
• Salvation Army PNG (Safe House, Lae): Salvation Army Safe House in Lae is a direct referral and MoU partner that supports women and children taking refuge; both provide safe accommodation and survivor care within the same PNG geography and FSV referral network.

Broad incumbents

• CARE International in Papua New Guinea: CARE operates in PNG on women's empowerment and gender-based violence programming through a broader development portfolio; it is a more diversified incumbent addressing overlapping issues and beneficiary populations across the country.
• Oil Search Foundation: Oil Search Foundation is a current partner of Femili PNG, running a one-year SGBV referral program in Hela Province; it operates as a development foundation with broader health, education and livelihoods programs but with a directly comparable SGBV service delivery model in PNG.
• World Vision Papua New Guinea: World Vision PNG delivers GBV prevention and response programming across multiple provinces as part of its broader child welfare and community development portfolio, serving overlapping FSV-affected populations in PNG.
• UNFPA Pacific Sub-Regional Office: UNFPA is both a major funder of Femili PNG (capacity building, case management training) and an implementing partner across the Pacific on GBV response; the overlap in mission and beneficiary base makes it a directly comparable, though much larger, regional actor.
• Equality Now: Equality Now is a global NGO working to end violence against women through legal advocacy and survivor support, addressing overlapping thematic objectives and case-management adjacent work, though without Femili PNG's on-the-ground Pacific service delivery focus.
