Beyond the disaster: Meet the women on the frontline of landslide relief in PNG and Bougainville
from Sistas, Let's Talk · host Australian Broadcasting Corporation
For many communities across the Pacific, the impact of Cyclone Maila is still being felt long after the winds and rain have passed. At least 25 people lost their lives, but behind that number are families trying to rebuild - and women carrying much of the recovery on their shoulders. Sistas, Let’s Talk meets the women on the frontlines of recovery. In the Autonomous Region of Bougainville, Susie Banas and Traicy Tsiroa risked their own safety to cross the flooded river to meet survivors, and Linda Maniot was part of the efforts to bury the dead. And in Rabaul, East New Britain, Sharon Leslie, speaks about the aftermath of the deadly landslide there. Listen on ABC Radio Australia.
