### Context
Papua New Guinea has historically had challenges with women's representation in politics, with very few women elected to the National Parliament. Since independence, only about 5 women have been elected, reflecting broader global trends of underrepresentation of women in legislative bodies.
### Evidence
For additional information, reports and statistics related to women's elections in Papua New Guinea can often be found in government publications, research organizations, and organizations focusing on gender equality. Resources like the UN Women website, the National Parliament of Papua New Guinea official site, and other NGOs may provide detailed statistics and reports verifying this information.
### Simple Terms
Since PNG became independent, only a handful of women have been elected as leaders in the government. These women represent different areas (electorates) and were elected in various years. The number of women in politics is still very small compared to men. For proof of these facts, you can check government websites and reports that talk about women in PNG's politics.
