Tchambuli

The Tchambuli, also known as Chambri, are an indigenous group from Papua New Guinea. They are notable for their unique social structure and gender roles that are often considered the reverse of Western norms. Among the Tchambuli, women are the primary decision-makers and manage most economic activities, while men traditionally take on more nurturing roles, focusing on child-rearing and domestic tasks. This reversal of typical gender dynamics has attracted anthropological interest, highlighting the diversity of human cultures and social arrangements. The Tchambuli provide critical insight into how societal roles can vary across different cultures.
