A crash course in changing the world.
The story I investigated dealt with what steps could be taken to make the markets in Papua New Guinea safer for women. The article highlighted that about eighty percent of vendors in the Port Moresby market are women, most of which are extremely poor and depend on selling their goods in order to survive. A study revealed that fifty-five percent of women in this market place experienced sexual violence. Vendors' associations began working to make these places more safe for the women by upgrading the infrastructure, using cashless methods of payment to prevent theft, and implementing a referral system for the survivors of sexual violence.
