Abstract: The E Wāhine, E Whānau research findings challenged the common perceptions and negative stereotypes of Māori women as being simultaneously ‘victims’ and perpetrators of domestic violence. Instead, we found Māori women actively navigate, react to and resist violence in unsafe partner relationships to keep safe and protect their children. This presentation is presented in two parts firstly, key findings from the study and discussion. The Response Service Empathy Project is focused on developing resources generated from the E Wāhine, E Whānau study to support practitioner and community support workers respond and explore new and culturally appropriate ways of responding to Māori women and their tamariki. The Response Service Empathy Project is a collaboration between Taupua Waiora Māori Research Centre and the Art and Design School AUT. Bachelor of Communication Design student Bryre Aish will present alongside Professor Denise Wilson looking to gain valuable insights and feedback from participants concerning resources developed out of the Response Service Empathy Project. 

The Waka Oranga AGM will be held the following day - Sunday 9 October 2022. Membership enquiries are welcome.
