There are no women in Papua New Guinea's parliament, but these election candidates hope to change that

As Papua New Guinea prepares to go to the polls, women candidates are campaigning to return to parliament. Australia’s nearest neighbour is one of the few countries in the world with no female MPs, but a small group is standing to change that, and their nation, for the better.

Candidate Lucielle Paru says she wants to win a seat on equal terms, not through a women's quota. Source: SBS News / Stefan Armbruster, SBS
