Women from two warring tribes, said male infanticide reduced the cyclical payback violence infamous in Highlands tribal fights.
If women stopped producing males, their tribe's stock would go down and this would force the men to end their fight, the women said.
WOMEN in Papua New Guinea's Highland region are killing their male babies to end a tribal war that has gone on for more than 20 years.
All the womenfolk agreed to have all babies born killed because they have had enough of men engaging in tribal conflicts and bringing misery to them.
{ Male children mean more war ,
Women sick of the conflict ,
Drastic action "will end tribal war"}
The Salvation Army is working with various tribes to bring peace to the warring groups, one particular fight continues after starting in 1986 over sorcery claims.
This situation shows the extreme frustration the women have with the men in these areas.
