Women's refuge comment on $10m for sexual violence services
Women's refuge applauds the government for responding to the clear need for more support for sexual violence services in nz. It is a big win for the sector.
We know this need is real because a significant number of our clients suffer sexual violence in their relationships, says it's chief executive Heather Henare.
We hope this funding boost signals a wider commitment from government to better resource other front line services dealing with violence.
