Our coalition

The Business Coalition for Women is a member based organisation. Registered businesses of all sizes operating in PNG are invited to join the Coalition to benefit from our collective expertise. Our members know that overcoming the challenges faced by women in the PNG workforce goes beyond the actions of individual businesses. They are ready to be part of history in the making as part of a Coalition of businesses advocating for change.

Our Purpose

Led by the private sector, we work for gender equity, safety and empowerment of women
and girls in PNG.

Our Vision

Women have an equal place in decision making, leadership and nation building in PNG.

Our supporters

The Business Coalition for Women is supported by the Australian Government in partnership with the Government of Papua New Guinea as part of the Pacific Women Shaping Pacific Development program.

Our strategic pillars
