To ensure effective and strong institutional framework to deliver real outcomes for women affected by domestic violence; it is recommended that:

 

01.  An independent Unit be established within the Ministry of Women’s Affairs tasked with “Eliminating Domestic Violence”.

 

02.  The Minister of Women’s Affairs seek Cabinet approval for funding and diversion of some financial and human resources from FACS, Taskforce for Action on Violence within Families and Families Commission to the proposed Unit.

 

03.  The proposed Unit works alongside CYF, MSD, WINZ, and NZ Police with reciprocal information sharing to avoid repetition of work and resources.  

 

04.  All organizations (public or private) advocating for women affected by domestic violence register with the proposed Unit to ensure coordination of work, message, relevance, and to avoid repetition of government resources.

 

05.  Publish a central website as the “focal” point for all domestic violence data, statistics, research publications, funding information, and help contacts for women.
