The National Māori Authority has launched a nationwide social media campaign following "appalling" figures which reveal rape convictions are at a 10-year low and family violence offences have increased.
"I'll just say it as I call it, we are a nation of violent partner beaters – and there is no escaping that single truth", chairman Matthew Tukaki said.
The campaign will focus on drawing people's attention to the problem with some basic messages that include "Whānau violence is not ok", "Aroha is not abusive" and "Stop. Think. Walk Away".
