This research project grew out of initiatives in the area of domestic violence already undertaken by Public Health Promotion and by the growing body of local and international research The projec was also inspired by the stories Public Health Promotion workers were hearing from abused women and agencies which were assessing them with the difficulties they encountered as they sought to stop violence in their homes or separate from abusive partners. Forty-five women in Auckland were interviewed sereral times about their experiences in order to identify the factors that helped or hindered them as they took action to stop abuse. The experiences of these women are the heart of the report and determine its direction. (from the Executive Summary).
