Family violence is a community problem. We all have a responsibility to support efforts to put an end to it in our communities. The Campaign for Action on Family Violence is a major initiative of the Taskforce for Action on Violence within Families. The Ministry of Social Development and the Families Commission are jointly leading the $14 million campaign.
The campaign has a simple message: Family violence is not ok, but it is ok to ask for help.
The campaign consists of three components:
The 0800 Family Violence Information Line (0800 456 450) provides support, information and access to services to help people understand the impact of family violence and how they can make changes in their lives.
Community providers and government agencies with a range of experience in running helplines have helped to develop the line. The website has links to the many government and non-government websites that have a connection to family violence, such as Women’s Refuge, Relationship Services, The Family Violence Clearing House and Preventing Violence in the Home.
