POLICE rescued a woman who was assaulted by her husband in their Nabasa Street home in Madang on Sunday.
“Police found the woman wounded in her back and face,” Madang commander Supt Mazuc Rubisang said.
He said police rushed to the home following a tip-off via a phone call.
“The woman’s husband is now advised to surrender to the police and to explain his actions,” he said.
Supt Rubiang said domestic violence was sometimes not reported, leading to death or the victim being injured.
“My office is next to the family sexual violence unit (FSVU) office and I see women and children in the office daily,” he said.
“The office should be without complainants or victims because that means all are well and good.”
Supt Rubiang said domestic violence was happening at almost every home but many cases went unreported.
He said seeing people queuing up in FSVU office “is indeed a sad state of affair, indicating that families are domestically not well”.
“The media, business houses and everyone should treat domestic violence seriously and help address it,” he said.
“If we do not help our children, they will grow up in a violent environment or home.
“They too may end up becoming violent adults.”
Supt Rubiang added that some of the domestic violence victims were from educated families who do not report their problem.
