Save the Children New Zealand welcomes todayâs announcement by Government of an inclusive multi-agency approach and consultation to challenge the countryâs horrendous rates of family and sexual abuse.
“Family violence and child abuse rates in Aotearoa New Zealand are shockingly high with a family violence call to police every four minutes,” says Save the Childrenâs Research and Advocacy Director Jacqui Southey.
“We support the Governmentâs community consultation approach to better understand our current culture that too often ignores, and even reinforces, violence against women. However, it is essential that children are also central to this conversation. While reducing violence and sexual harm to women supports a reduction in these harms to children, we canât rely on a trickle-down effect. The prevention of violence and sexual abuse of children must be a priority in the new kaupapa of this initiative.”
