A report prepared for the Ministry of Social Development by
The Backbone Collective, January 2020
The report is based on the survey results from 528 New Zealand women, many of whom described an incredibly long, complex, dangerous and difficult struggle to get safe in which they had very little access to resources or safe and appropriate support and often found they were powerless to stop the abuse even after they separated from the abuser.
The survey participants shared a wide range of ideas for supports and services that would help them to get safe and recover. However, survey responses show that urgent changes are required to the way New Zealand responds to women who are victim-survivors of family violence including removing the barriers to safety they currently experience.
