PNG Women in Disability Network elects new leadership team

The Papua New Guinea Women in Disability Network (WiDN) has established a new Board and Executive Committee, set to serve from 2026 to 2029. This significant development marks a crucial step forward in bolstering inclusive leadership and ensuring greater representation for women and girls with disabilities throughout Papua New Guinea.

The elections took place last Friday, May 15, during the organization's Annual General Meeting (AGM) held in Port Moresby. This important gathering followed a week-long national workshop that brought together members from all 21 provinces of the country.

The new leadership is expected to drive the network's agenda forward, focusing on advocacy, empowerment, and the inclusion of people with disabilities in all aspects of national life. The process underscores a commitment to amplifying the voices and needs of this often-marginalized group within the country.
