Te Rito: New Zealand Family Violence Prevention Strategy

The New Zealand Family Violence Prevention Strategy is the Government's official response to, and framework for implementing, the family violence prevention plan of action released in September 2001. It reinforces the plan of action, the Government's dedication to addressing all forms and degrees of violence, and the Government's commitment to a number of international conventions specifically relevant to violence in families/whānau.

The strategy:

  • covers a broad range of controlling behaviours that occur within a variety of close interpersonal relationships;
  • takes a multi-faceted approach to preventing, reducing and addressing violence in families/whanau;
  • integrates the key sections and elements of the family violence prevention plan of action;
  • builds upon the progress made by government and community organisations in responding to violence in families/whanau;
  • is consistent with current or planned family violence prevention initiatives across the sector; and is linked to a variety of other key cross-sector strategies
