Review of funding for sexual violence services

From Saturday Morning, 7:24 am on 20 September 2025

Te Ohaaki A Hine - the National Network Ending Sexual Violence Together is raising the alarm over a current review of the sector it says will lead to funding cuts. 

The organisation represents 40 specialist agencies providing sexual violence services all over Aotearoa.

It says proposed funding cuts which would come into effect in December, will undermine decades of progress, leaving thousands of survivors without care.

Kyla Rayner speaks to Mihingarangi from Wellington.
