National centre for family and whānau violence research and information

Pānui | Newsletter - Issue 118 - March 2023

Kia ora!

It was wonderful to catch up with many of you at the National Family Violence Conference – Hiwa-i-te-rangi, held in Te Whanganui-a-Tara a couple of weeks ago. It is clear that there is a lot of innovative practice and research taking place across Aotearoa and it was great to be able to take the time to step out of the busy day-to-day and learn, reflect and connect alongside others. Thanks to conference organisers Te Kupenga Whakaoti Mahi Patunga for providing us this opportunity.

In other news, we have now published the video, transcript and slides from the webinar we presented in late February, ‘Immigration policy and family violence: Findings from in-depth research’, and also the video from the launch of Elisabeth McDonald’s book ‘Intimate partner rape and the trial process: Research, reflections and reform’, which was held at Parliament in March. See the links below for more information.

The Easter break and school holidays are upon us – we hope that you can take some time to spend with your families and whānau in ways that are meaningful for you.
