A woman who was part of a group kidnapped in Papua New Guinea in February this year has spoken out after the abduction and reported rape of 17 schoolgirls in Bosavi, Southern Highlands earlier this month.

Cathy Alex, New Zealand-born Australian archeologist, Bryce Barker, and two other women, were taken and held for a ransom. 

Don Wiseman has more.
