Tēnā tātou katoa

 

This month the Clearinghouse is launching a new timeline documenting progress and setbacks on the journey towards the prevention and elimination of family and whānau violence in Aotearoa New Zealand. It highlights milestones occurring at a community, government, research or international level from 1867 to the present day. Events relating to specific population groups can also be viewed. We hope it will be a useful resource for the family violence sector. Read more about the timeline and explore it here.

Read on for more resources, news and events.
