Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern should ensure an investigation into the case of Mrs P – an abuse victim – is undertaken by the courts, the group of academics says.
A group of more than 70 domestic violence experts are calling on the Prime Minister to ensure the courts investigate a miscarriage of justice case that saw an abuse victim wrongly convicted of perjury. The academics and specialist agencies have also asked the woman, known as Mrs P, be compensated, and those who acted inappropriately in the case be required to undertake training in domestic violence and coercive control. In an open letter, penned by the country’s leading domestic violence researchers including Auckland University professors Nicola Gavey and Vivenne Elizabeth, the group says the woman’s story shows “state power and ignorance colliding to harm a vulnerable woman.”
