Dynamic Orators of Papuan Empowerment (DOPE!)

By David Aoneka Rupa Lawrence

This podcast is dedicated to the Papuan people from the Provinces of Oro, Milne Bay, Central, Gulf & Western of Papua New Guinea. As PNG transitions through rapid globalization & faced by socio-economic challenges; we want to empower our young generation by holding conversations that will revisit our cultural knowledge, values, identities & language that will ground them to make well informed decisions when they take over as the next leaders of our people. Conversations held on this podcast may unpack sensitive issues around socio-economic development, politics, spirituality & the environment.

2020 International Women's Day UN 75 Dialogue with PNG Youth

On International Women's Day, I had the privilege of being a part of 3 other young champions from PNG seated at the UN75 Dialogue as panelist with the United Nations Deputy Secretary General, Her Excellency Amina Mohammed, the UN Secretary General's Youth Envoy, Jayathma Wickramanayake and the UN AIDS Secretary General, Winnie Nyanyima.
The Dialogue was moderated by UN Women's Ms Bronwyn Kili.

On behalf of the young people who contributed to the People working pillar, we called to

1. End all forms of acts of Violence, Stigma and Discrimination this is done through reforming Discriminatory Laws (Colonial Laws)

2. Equal access to services, resource and equal distribution of wealth.

3. An equal world where inclusion and diversity is celebrated for humans to co-exist and co-create.
