The Bougainville Women's Collective and its member organisations have some very strong and inspirational leaders, many of whom have been active in their communities for many years. But there are comparatively few young women taking on leadership roles or preparing to do so, and this is a great concern for those concerned about continuing the important work.
The Bougainville Women's Federation has recently conducted a survey of young women in Bougainville to try to find out why this is so, and how they can encourage young women to prepare for leadership.
Hona Holan, President of the BWF, was interviewed about the survey on Radio NZ: to hear the interview click here.
The BWF is now implementing plans developed to involve young women in leadership.
The Hako Women's Collective (HWC) works for the welfare of the Hako community in northern Buka, and in partnership with other women's groups in the Autonomous Region of Bougainville, PNG
