Submission: Family violence and sexual violence
Good Shepherd NZ made a submission on the Government’s National Strategy and Action Plans to eliminate family violence and sexual violence in Aotearoa New Zealand.
We had three main points:
- Economic harm needs particular emphasis in the strategy and action plans
- The private sector needs to be identified as a key participant in the eradication of family violence
- A gender lens needs to be legislated across all areas of policy.
