Helen Hakena co-founded Leitana Nehan Women’s Development Agency (LNWDA) in 1992 and is its executive director. The key area of commitment was to restore peaceful lives for the people of Bougainville during the civil war with Papua New Guinea (1988–1998) over the destructive Panguna copper mine and to achieve gender equality.
