New Zealand has the worst rate of family
and intimate-partner violence in the world. A shocking 80 per cent of
incidents go unreported — so what we know of family violence in our
community is barely the tip of the iceberg.
Today is part three of We’re
Better Than This, a week long series on family violence. Our aim is to
raise awareness, to educate, to give an insight into the victims and
perpetrators. We want to encourage victims to have the strength to speak
out, and abusers the courage to change their behaviour.
