You can help victims of family violence get the support they urgently need.
Our country has among the highest rates of family violence in the OECD. Right now there are people living with abusive family members in our communities.
- One in three women in Aotearoa New Zealand, is physically or sexually abused by an intimate partner.
- More than 90,000 children are exposed to family violence every year.
- Every 5 weeks, a child is killed by a person who was supposed to be responsible for their care.
- Half of all homicides are family-violence related.
- About three-quarters of family violence incidents are not reported to the police.
Your gift to Shine can help provide the wraparound support that families need to become safer, to heal and rebuild their lives.
Your kindness can provide:
- Safety plans and support to leave, (one of the most dangerous times for families escaping violence).
- Emergency refuge.
- Living essentials, like clothes, bedding and towels, food and groceries, petrol, etc.
- Support to arrange healthcare, counselling, legal assistance, schooling, accommodation and other needs.
- Hope for a better future.
Together with family violence specialists here at Shine, in workplaces, hospitals, communities and support organisations, your valued support can help us make a difference.
Join us to help families find safety, healing and a future free from fear.
