In 2021 we heard from many communities impacted by violence. Working with government agencies and people supporting and representing those communities, we produced 10 analysis papers that reflect their experiences of the family violence and sexual violence systems.
These papers summarise what government heard from key groups in the family and sexual violence system during engagement to develop Te Aorerekura. They draw on some existing evidence that highlights the prevalence and different dynamics of violence each of these groups experience. The papers also identify some opportunities for improving ways to prevent, respond, and heal from these types of violence.
Note: These papers are a snapshot in time and are limited to the voices of those who participated in the engagements. As such, it may be that not every person can see themselves reflected in them. The words used reflect as much as possible those used by each group during engagement. For that reason, there may be inconsistencies in terminology across the different papers, and between these papers and Te Aorerekura. The papers are authored by the Joint Venture in consultation with Independent Advisors nominated from each group.
We are committed to building on-going and enduring relationships with tangata whenua, communities and sectors and embedding a diversity of voices and experiences across its work.
To share the voices we heard during our engagement process, the Joint Venture produced summaries that outline key themes in the feedback we received.
The summaries below reflect careful analysis of the common themes emerging from the many different engagements. These summaries were assessed by the Joint Venture and reviewed by our Independent Advisors(external link) to make sure they accurately reflect the opinions of the people who spoke to us.
