PBI making space for peace

Peace Brigades International (PBI) is a non-governmental organization (NGO) which protects human rights and promotes nonviolent transformation of conflicts.When invited, they send teams of volunteers into areas of repression and conflict. The volunteers accompany human rights defenders, their organizations and others threatened by political violence. Perpetrators of human rights abuses usually do not want the world to witness their actions. The presence of volunteers backed by a support network helps to deter violence. PBI CREATES SPACE for local activists to work for social justice and human rights.

February 12th 2009 Fieldtrip to PBI Wamena client in Napua


PBI provides regular fieldtrips to areas where PBI clients work and live.  Napua is a place very close to Wamena and you can reach it with a bicycle ride uphill in about an hour. Before you can enter the village you need to get permission to pass from the military post.
