Description
English: Veronica Simogun at International Women of Courage Awards 2017

"Veronica Tamar Simogun is currently the Director of the Family for Change Association based in Wewak, East Sepik Province, Papua New Guinea. Ms. Simogun was born in Urip village in the Boykin/Dagua area of Wewak, East Sepik Province in 1962. She studied at the Civil Aviation Training College and graduated with a Certificate in civil aviation in 1981. She worked with the Department of Civil Aviation for six years before moving back to her home village in 1986 to assist her church and community in the promotion of safe and healthy living. Ms. Simogun has been working to help women affected by violence ever since, funding much of this work herself. She continues to run the Family for Change Association which she founded in 2012. Ms. Simogun's life-long desire has been to see strong communities, where families are happily secure and women and children live free from violence and intimidation. Risking her own safety, she has directly intervened to protect women experiencing gender-based violence. In the face of death threats from the perpetrators of violence, she has helped shelter and relocate victims on multiple occasions." [1]
