Overcoming Violence and Building Peace in Conditions of Complexity in PNG

该项目是对巴布亚新几内亚三种相互关联的暴力形式--部落战斗、与巫术指控有关的暴力以及家庭和性暴力--的推动者和抑制者的调查。这些形式的暴力造成的伤害是系统性和持续性的，对社会和经济发展的多个层面的妇女、男子和儿童产生了广泛的负面影响。该项目将产生关于暴力与缔造和平倡议如何产生、联系、传播和分散的新知识，并产生新的概念模型，以更好地分析暴力与和平跨越时间和空间的动态。这些理论见解将为巴布亚新几内亚及其他地区更好地预防暴力倡议提供信息。

The project is an investigation of the drivers and inhibitors of three inter-related forms of violence in Papua New Guinea - tribal fighting, sorcery accusation related violence and family and sexual violence. The harm caused by these forms of violence is systemic and ongoing, with widespread negative impacts for women, men and children across multiple dimensions of social and economic development. The project will produce new knowledge about how violence and peace-making initiatives emerge, connect, spread and disperse, and generate new conceptual models to better analyse the dynamics of violence and peace across time and space. These theoretical insights will inform better violence prevention initiatives for Papua New Guinea and beyond.
