This report helps to unmask the realities of family violence as a social issue. It shows the complexity of the challenges associated with family violence, and how the churches can offer a constructive Christian response, built on shared values in Samoan communities. This project by Dr. Mercy Ah Siu-Maliko makes available a set of web-based resources which address the problem of domestic violence in Samoa, and explore a constructive Christian response based on Samoan cultural values. We hope the resources will be of use to church members in Samoa (laity and clergy), and member of Samoan churches in Aotearoa New Zealand. In addition, we hope that the resources will be of interest to a wider Pacific constituency, in New Zealand and in Pacific Islands, and to other churches and agencies working on domestic violence. (From the report and website). There is more information about the researcher and her work on the website. The report is also available to read in Samoan. Record #5301
