Te Kupenga Unites Maori Anti-Violence Workers

Te Kupenga Unites Maori Anti-Violence Workers
 
A hui for practitioners working with Maori whanau and men who are victims and perpetrators of family and domestic violence will be hosted by the National Network of Stopping Violence, Te Kupenga, this week.
 
‘Kia Rangatira Te Mahi: Whakamanahia te Whanau’ will be held at Hongoeka Marae at Plimmerton, near Porirua, from Monday April 16 to Wednesday April 18 2012.
 
Te Kupenga is a network of 42 independent community-based organisations – from Whangarei to Invercargill – working to end violence and abuse in families
 
Kaihautu (Director Maori Development) at Te Kupenga, Parekotuku Moore, says the training seminar builds upon the 2011 hui when the national network launched a Maori best practice manual for Maori men’s stopping violence programmes.
 
The standards framework, ‘Kia Rangatira te Mahi’, details performance measures, examples and outcomes for seven key intervention principles.
 
“Practitioners representing our kaupapa Maori member agencies are returning this year to further re-fine, build upon, enhance, critique, improve and affirm their practice,” Parekotuku says.
 
“Whakamanahia te whanau means empower the family. This hui will ensure that whanau are empowered to break the cycle of domestic violence with quality intervention and support thanks to the commitment and expertise of the practitioners to provide what all families deserve – the very best in whanau ora work.”
 
The hui begins with a powhiri at Hongaweka Marae at 11.00 am on Monday April 16 2012. For more information about Te Kupenga, go to the website www.nnsvs.org.nz.

The US Senate Budget Committee and Bloomberg News don't think this is a good idea, for reasons set out below.
