Papua New Guinea’s 118-seat parliament includes only three female Members of Parliament. The female MPs are Kessy Sawang, representing Rai Coast and serving as Minister for Labour; Rufina Peter, the Governor for Central Province; and Francisca Semoso, MP for North Bougainville, who also holds the position of Deputy Speaker.
