From Morning Report, 8:44 am on 15 March 2021

Auckland Transport is the latest organisation to add a feature to its website which can help victims of domestic abuse escape.

Women's Refuge says technology is increasingly being used as a way to control women in abusive relationships.

A small icon on household websites gives access to a helpline and resources without leaving a trace in the browser history.

Corin Dann spoke to Women's Refuge chief executive Dr Ang Jury.
