National centre for family and whānau violence research and information
Pānui | Newsletter - Issue 101 - March 2021
Kia ora!

2021 is shaping up to be a very busy year for people working in the family, whānau and sexual violence sectors.

This month’s pānui includes new research about the prevalence of different types of intimate partner violence (IPV) in Aotearoa New Zealand. Undertaken by researchers at the University of Auckland, this is the first research to track changes in rates of abuse by New Zealand women’s partners over time using population surveys specifically designed to measure violence experience.

This pānui also includes information about current legislation open for submissions including the Harmful Digital Communications (Unauthorised Posting of Intimate Visual Recording) Amendment Bill. If you are looking for research and resources to support submissions on this legislation we have added a new ‘Quick Topic’ search on our website ‘Technology and Abuse’.

We wish you all a safe and relaxing break over the Easter holiday.
