Data reported for 2022 results against this indicator was obtained as part of a learning process on social norms and therefore may not accurately reflect the results obtained. Internal reviews of data collected on social norms across relevant indicators, coupled with external reviews, are informing the design of UN Women’s principled approach to social & gender norms change. This will be reflected in changes to the indicators to be introduced in the Mid-Term Review of the Strategic Plan.
In addition to results reported by UN Women field offices (shown here), results achieved in countries and territories through the United Nations Trust Fund to End Violence against Women (UNTF) are included in a non-duplicative manner in the global reporting on this indicator (see the Our Global Results page).

PNG women demonstrated courage, confidence and knowledge through increased participation in political leadership position. During the 2022 general elections a total of 64 women (an increase from 22.8% in 2017 to 40.3% in 2022), were endorsed by political parties with most parties endorsing between one and four women candidates. Two women were successfully elected to National Parliament in the 2022 national general elections, both were endorsed by political parties. UN Women further enhance women leadership and governance, inclusive decision-making, communication, community development and running for election, knowledge and skills. This was achieved through training, 93 subnational female politicians from the Autonomos Bougainville Government commnity department, and Government of PNG provincial and Local Level Government on the same. Participants shared numerous positive benefits from the trainings, including: (1) The training gave them more recognition and credibility as a leader in their community; and (2) The training increased their confidence in speech writing, public speaking, proposal writing and how government functions. During this period, the Political Leadership Academy for Women, established by UN Women in 2021 in partnership with the Pacific Institute of Leadership and Government (PILAG), saw two cohorts of subnational female politicians graduated. In addition, PILAG demonstrated their commitment to the Academy by dedicating an office on their campus and staff to support the programme, as well as taking increased ownership over the delivery of the curriculum. In 2022, recorded improvement in community perception on women leadership participation. UN Women piloted a new approach to raise awareness on women’s leadership by working closely with Queensland University of Technology to co-create 13 digital stories with male and female leaders from across PNG. These stories were aired at the national level via television and social media, and were used to support community dialogues across 9 provinces (Eastern Highlands Province, East New Britain, East Sepik Province, Jiwaka, National Capital District, Morobe, Milne Bay and Simbu) and the Autonomous Region of Bougainville reaching 1,631 people. All the data collected showed an overwhelming interest and appetite for the films with “ 91% [of viewers] saying that they learnt something new from the films ”. There was also an immediate shift reported in some audiences' perceptions after viewing the film, “I thought women are not good enough in leadership roles. But even a slight opportunity given for them can bring positive results because women are usually persistent in things they do”. (Male, 30, Simbu) UN Women worked closely with the Autonomous Bougainville Government (ABG) to the review and creation of gender-responsive policies, including the ABG Gender Policy and the ABG Partnerships Policy. As a result of this work, the ABG’s discussions on the establishment of the Office for the Development of Women has been reinvigorated. The establishment of this office and the allocation of resources to support its functions is critical for advancing coordination and legislation on GEWE in the ABG.Disclaimer and notes
