What to do if you know someone planning an attack
InformationPDF · 1 pageENG
Many people feel they should not try to stop a planned attack on a rival clan out of loyalty to their clan or from believing they will look weak if there isn’t a payback. If attacking others increased your protection, this might be understandable, though it doesn’t. It usually creates cycles of payback hurting more and more non-fighters.
What ShieldPNG is and is not

ShieldPNG is a national violence and stakeholder management system. We gather and share information on what works, and doesn’t work, in violence reduction and try to make it easier for violence affected communities to turn people from supporting violent responses to non-violent responses.

InformationPDF · 1 pageENG
The most important role of a clan’s leaders is to protect its people, especially the most vulnerable. Sometimes that is done through effective non-violence responses which work very well, including setting and supporting Peace and Good Order Committees, or Land Court or other processes.
Protecting your family from an armed attack

It is hard to imagine anything more terrifying that sheltering your family during an armed attack. We hope you never have to experience that. The ShieldPNG system can’t help you during an attack, though we hope we can help your clan reduce the risk that the attack happens. To do so, a lot of work may be needed and the best time to start it is long before tensions rise, when you might be tempted to just let things stay in an uneasy peace.
