Say NO to violence: a panel discussion

Say NO to violence: a panel discussion

The Zonta Club of Auckland and Auckland Libraries are holding a panel discussion addressing the issue of violence against women and children.

Our expert panel, chaired by Pam Corkery, will explore the reality for women and children today.

Pam believes sensationalist media coverage when fatalities occur does nothing to stem the rise of family violence, and that a sustained preventative and holistic approach is desperately needed.

Panellists include:

· Louise Nicholas, crusader for victims of sexual assault

· Richie Hardcore, White Ribbon ambassador and well-known campaigner against violent assault

· Vic Tamati, champion of the It's Not OK drive

· Associate Professor Janet Fanslow from the School of Population Health at Auckland University who has been engaged in violence prevention research since 1989

· Barrister Louise Reed and solicitor Alissa Bell, experienced lawyers in the Family Court.

When: Monday 28 November, 5.30pm
Where: Central City Library, Whare Wānanga Level 2
Cost: Free

Zonta International is a leading global organisation of professionals empowering women worldwide through service and advocacy.
