Body parts bitten off, maimed from severe burns and footprints left on their heads from being stomped on - experts believe the brutality of attacks on women by their male partners is worsening.

Campaign under way to back Chris Brown's entry into NZ:

The promoter of Chris Brown's concert has been seeking help from organisations to get the US singer, who has been convicted of assault and threatening to kill, into New Zealand.

Lesley Elliott was honoured as the ‘Zonta New Zealand Woman of the Biennium’ at the Zonta International, District 16, National Conference held in Rotorua recently.

CCS, IHC, and the Disabled Person's Assembly have lodged a joint submission to the government, which is considering changes to the law.

Ernie awards:

Each September, more than 300 women come together at New South Wales Parliament House to judge the most sexist remarks made by Australian public figures in the fields of politics, media, sport, celebrity and justice.
