| Summary: |
This report updates the 2002 document from the former Second Maori Taskforce on Whanau Violence. This report proposes a framework for addressing whanau/family violence based on Maori principles, and discusses how these concepts may be implemented in practice. Colonisation, with its assumption of cultural superiority, is identified as contributing to the incidence of violence amongst Maori families. The authors argue that models of practice should be designed by Maori, for Maori, and not dictated by government policy and legislation, or based upon Pakeha conceptual frameworks. Recommendations include a collective approach to violence intervention strategies involving all members of the whanau, and a plan of action for implementing programmes based upon Maori values and principles. |
