Women's Studies Journal, 2015, 29(2): 50-59Summary: "In 2006, Andrea Smith and colleagues argued that the question for anti-violence movements to grapple with should not be, ‘What is the best model of violence intervention?’, but rather, ‘What will it take to end the violence against us all?’ (Smith, Richie, Sudbury, & White, 2006, p.10). They argued that the strategies of addressing violence against women, which rely on the state and the criminal justice system, are inadequate and often perpetuate violence against women of colour. In this essay, I want to engage with this question in order to move towards effective strategies for transformative change and gender justice in Aotearoa/New Zealand." (Opening paragraph). Winner of the 2015 Women’s Studies Journal Graduate Prize for a Feminist Essay. Record #4892
