Shocked by the horrible statistics on domestic violence, and surprised by the lack of visual information, I decided to start a photographic project on the issue. I called it \u201cCrying Meri\u201d, \u201cmeri\u201d meaning woman in Pidgin \u2013 the language spoken in PNG. I went to PNG four times during 2012-13. I covered several angles of gender-based violence. I photographed victims of domestic violence, interviewed members of the street gangs (called \u201craskols\u201d), went to prisons and police stations to document how the authorities are tackling this type of crime. I spoke to perpetrators, and to survivors in shelters, with social workers and nurses \u2013 trying to build the big picture. I was particularly concerned about the safety of the women and children I interviewed. I didn't want to put them in any danger because of my images. Before I photographed any of them I wanted to be sure that they understood what I was doing, and how and where their images would be used. I carefully explained why I was doing this project, all the time with the help of someone from the community: social workers, doctors or nurses, women advocates, people from NGOs, parents of abused children.","thumbnail_url":"https:\/\/www.amnesty.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/whoweare_2944x1224_header.jpg","thumbnail_width":1178,"thumbnail_height":490}
