Meeting the needs of the community is the goal of Women’s Ministries (WM) in East Indonesia. Therefore, the WM directors of the Papua Mission and East Indonesian Union Conference (of the Southern Asia-Pacific Division) are organizing enditnow events to bring awareness of the problems of violence and abuse in the communities of Irian Jaya.

The large island of Papua is divided between two countries. The western side is Irian Jaya, Indonesia and the eastern side is Papua New Guinea where an active enditnow program is supported by Papua New Guinea Union Mission and the South Pacific Division.
