Fighting Boko Haram Through Internet And Education
In Cameroon's Far North region, chaos and displacement stemming from Boko Haram's violence have upended people's lives. The kids and teachers at Baigai Public School are a mix of refugees from across the border in Nigeria, internally displaced people from within Cameroon and locals. But today, kids and teachers alike are thinking about one thing: getting on the internet for the first time.

Starvation and Survival
Across the Lake Chad basin region, more than 6.5 million people are severely food insecure. As violence waged by Boko Haram displaces millions across the region, people aren't able to farm, market activities are disrupted and many places are too unsafe for humanitarian organizations to deliver food aid.

Prevention of Parent to Child Transmission (PPTCT) in Papua New Guinea
The 2013 Children and AIDS Sixth Stocktaking Report states that coverage for women and children living with HIV in Papua New Guinea is improving, but still must expand. About half of all women and children living with HIV in PNG are receiving treatment. Working to end new HIV infection among children by 2015 and keeping mothers alive is a key element of UNICEF’s commitment to child survival.

Domestic violence in Papua New Guinea
Papua New Guinea has one of the world’s highest rates of violence against women and children. An estimated two out of three women have experienced physical or sexual assault, and often when mothers are assaulted their children are too. This video shares Taina’s story, a male community leader in PNG who regrets having once been a violent man.

Crying Meri (multimedia)
Papua New Guinea may not be thought of as a traditional conflict zone but the fact is that systemic and often brutal violence is perpetrated with impunity against half of the population: women. The situation is so bad that MSF put out a statement in 2013 declaring that the violence against women constituted a ‘humanitarian crisis’ with prevalence rates ‘only seen in war-zones'
