Ngā mihi o te tau hou Pākehā. I would like to begin by thanking everyone for the warm welcome I have received as I have stepped into the role of Kaiwhakahaere with the NZFVC. It is a great privilege to have the opportunity to contribute to the critical work of the Clearinghouse. 

 

As the NZFVC team has been preparing this Pānui – our first for 2021 and our 100th issue! – we have also become aware of a new outbreak of COVID-19 within the community. As Tāmaki Makaurau is placed under Alert Level 3, and the rest of Aotearoa placed under Alert Level 2, this is a timely reminder that COVID-19 is likely to continue to disrupt our lives for some time to come. The Clearinghouse has a wealth of COVID-19 information related to family, whānau and sexual violence on our website and we are working to ensure that this information remains up to date as we deal with this latest outbreak.

 

This month’s Pānui contains information about important new research undertaken by NZFVC Director Janet Fanslow and colleagues on sexual abuse trends in Aotearoa. There are also stories highlighting new research and reports on elder abuse, the Christchurch terrorist attack and violence affecting LGBTTQIA+ communities.

 

Ngā mihi nui ki a koutou,

Charlotte and the NZFVC team
