Women’s Refuge on Budget 2016
Women’s Refuge on Budget 2016
“While I am disappointed there is no additional funding for the family violence sector in the budget today, I eagerly await the outcome of the review of family violence being carried out by the Ministerial Group on Family Violence and Sexual Violence,” says Chief Executive of Women’s Refuge Dr Ang Jury. “However I am pleased to see a realistic investment in the Child Youth and Family modernisation programme and also additional investment in Whanau Ora.”
“I know a great deal of consultation and work has gone into how government and front line agencies can create safety and improved pathways for those experiencing family violence. The recommendations and outcomes of the family violence sector review should provide a lead for the sector and when details are released, how funding is allocated, should be part of it.”
