Strong and Safe Communities – Effective Interventions for Adult Victims of Sexual Violence | The project aims to: • reduce the impact and incidence of violence against women (sexual violence and family violence) • find out what interventions work for adult victims of sexual violence • explore issues relating to young women that may set them on a pathway of disadvantage and marginalisation. |
A workshop was convened with the help of the Disabled People’s Assembly in October 2007 for stakeholders representing disabled people, to outline the project’s aims and approach, and to hear the views of disabled people about sexual violence issues and the research approach of the project. A summary report on the discussion is on the Ministry of Women’s Affairs website: http://www.mwa.govt.nz/our-work/svrproject |
