Peace in the home
Family Violence – It’s not OK! is a nation-wide media promotion campaign organised as part of the Campaign for Action on Family Violence. The Campaign is being led by the Ministry of Social Development and the Families Commission, in association with communities. It is supported by the Ministry of Health and the New Zealand Police. It includes television advertisements featuring formerly violent males talking about alternatives to handling their anger, and women affirming their right not to be abused.
"You Will Know" by Brothers Against Violence has brought together some of NZ’s top Maori and Pacific Island male musicians in a contemporary song to oppose violence towards women. See the full You-Tube version of "You Will Know".
White Ribbon Day, 25 November, is the international day when people wear a white ribbon to show that they do not condone violence towards women. It was started by a men's movement in Canada in 1991 and has been officially adopted by the United Nations as its International Day for the Elimination of Violence Against Women. The campaign was introduced to New Zealand by UNIFEM (the United Nations Development Fund for Women) and is now supported and promoted by the Families Commission, Ministry of Social Development, Ministry of Health, Te Puni Kokiri, Ministry of Justice, Ministry of Education, Accident Compensation Commission and NZ Police. WEAV WEAV is a community agency that works to eliminate domestic violence in Wellington. WEAV provides programmes for men who have problems with anger, violence and abuse. This includes self-referred men, and court-referred men. WEAV also provides courses for women to help them and their children overcome the effects of the trauma and abuse of violent relationships, and to develop strategies to break the cycle of violence in their lives. |
