Background Information
The community-led initiative Yumi Sanap Strong (Let’s Stand Strong Together) emerges from an action research project undertaken by Queensland University of Technology in partnership with the University of Goroka. The project has developed communication strategies and materials to address sorcery accusation related violence in Papua New Guinea.
The project aims to create audiovisual materials from Papua New Guinea highlighting causes, impacts and solutions to sorcery related violence. By sharing the stories of those affected by sorcery accusations and those who transformed from perpetrators to advocators, Yumi Sanap Strong challenges mainstream representations of the issue.
