Policy and Rights

Parliament unanimously passes Disability Services Bill 2025. In the words of Prime Minister James Marape:

“For the first time, we now have a piece of legislation that formally embraces, protects, and involves our citizens living with disabilities. It is not just law. It is a statement of compassion, a statement of national maturity, and a powerful message that every citizen matters. This Bill recognises the needs of over 1.5 million Papua New Guineans living with some form of disability.” (Aug, The National)
