Kaupapa/Objectives
-
We believe that violence in any shape or form is unacceptable, and change of behaviour is possible.
-
That it is every individual’s right to live without the fear of violence and the reality of violence.
-
That it is a family (whanau), community (hapu) and society's (iwi) responsibility to ensure this right and to make a stand against violence.
-
That the incidence of public violence is linked to violence by individuals, family (whanau) and is supported by SILENCE

Violence is a learned attitude and behaviour for dealing with certain situations and non-violent alternatives can be learned
