Helping Combat Family Violence in Aotearoa's Ethnic Communities

A 114 million dollar funding boost over four years has been announced today to help combat the scourge that is domestic violence, family violence, and abuse. New Zealand is in the unenviable position of having one of the highest rates in the O.E.C.D. But more support is on the way - and one of the groups hoping some of that financial assistance comes their way is Shakti New Zealand, a national not-for-profit organisation and refuge which specialises in working with our ethnic communities - helping the women, children and families of Asian, African and MIddle Eastern origin and others. Shakti's Margy Ageled joins us to tell us more.
