The pilot project provides an opportunity to refine the research questions and appropriate methods, before expanding the project to include other sites. The Canberra based service, Domestic Violence Crisis Service (DVCS), has an established relationship with Femili PNG and is involved in the research in an advisory capacity on technical aspects of the project that relate to legal practice. The research team is working closely with the Morobe Family and Sexual Violence Action Committee and Femili PNG on design, conduct and report of the project. The pilot project is being undertaken in Lae, with the support of Femili PNG, a local NGO based in Lae that runs a Case Management Centre to assist survivors of family and sexual violence to access the services they need. The pilot is envisaged as part of a broader research project on family protection legislation in a number of countries in the region. A new research pilot project led by Dr Judy Putt aims to investigate the expectations, use and efficacy of family protection legislation, and specifically protection orders, in Papua New Guinea. Over the past decade, a number of Pacific Island nations have introduced family protection legislation as a means of addressing family violence. Dr Judy Putt explores how family violence in Papua New Guinea (PNG) has been impacted by family protection legislation.
