The Campaign for Action on Family Violence
This website has information about family violence, what it is and where to get help.
Our current focus is on what friends and whanau can do to help people living in violent situations whether they are the violent person or the victim - not just in a crisis but in everyday situations.
Find out how you can get involved in making family violence not OK in your family and your community under Get Involved.
You can also read about the many other ways that the Campaign is working to change the way New Zealanders think and act about family violence.
