In #PapuaNewGuinea, #bilums are more than bags. They tell stories of womanhood, struggle, and resilience. @UNFPA works with communities in #PNG to ensure women & girls are aware of their #rights and live with #dignity. 💙 Learn more: https://t.co/VWYUVELUwl

#Bilums are string bags used for many purposes, including as baby carriers. Interestingly, the word 'bilum' means 'womb' in Tok Pisin. Watch how @UNFPA_PNG is innovatively using bilums to share messages about women's #health in #PapuaNewGuinea ➡️https://t.co/SiPrCtjyJh #ICPD30

Love carrying/wearing #bilums but I don't know how #cotton and #nylonstring are traditional materials. Got me thinking about the #MeriBlaus, how exactly is it #PapuaNewGuinean or was it adopted like all other great things #PNG 🤷‍♀️😅

In #Goroka today and tomorrow for the first time and I can't make up my mind on which bilum I want to buy. Plenty #bilums to choose from, each unique and stylish in its own way.

When in #PortMoresby, why not visit the local Boroko Market? Full of handicrafts such as #bilums (string bags made by hand), Sepik carving and shell jewellery, you’ll find some nice items alongside fresh fruit and vegetables like these! | 📷 @nangu.chef (IG)
