Women in Papua New Guinea's Highlands say they are killing their male babies to halt an ongoing tribal war
WOMEN in Papua New Guinea's Highland region are killing their male babies to end a tribal war that has gone on for more than 20 years.
Two women from the Eastern Highlands spoke of the slaughter to PNG's National newspaper during a three-day peace and reconciliation course in the region's capital of Goroka.
Rona Luke and Kipiyona Belas, from two warring tribes, said male infanticide reduced the cyclical payback violence infamous in Highlands tribal fights.
If women stopped producing males, their tribe's stock would go down and this would force the men to end their fight, the women said.
"All the womenfolk agreed to have all babies born killed because they have had enough of men engaging in tribal conflicts and bringing misery to them," Ms Luke said.
The women could not give a figure on how many male babies had been killed.

Hey there! Do you know if they make any plugins to

Any recommendations?
