| Abstract title: | Womens groups for whom? The colonisation of womens groups in Papua New Guinea |
| Author: | Gabrielle Appleford |

Womens groups in Papua New Guinea, often under the influence of colonial and church governance in the past, still have an ambiguous function which serves to isolate women and womens issues rather than spread gender sensitivity. The author concludes that the existence of these forums for women actually encourages the continued marginalisation of women from governing and decision-making structures, since womens groups tend to operate from separate and unequal spheres of influence.
