Subject(s): Online resources: Summary: This report updates the 2002 document from the former Second Māori Taskforce on Whānau Violence. This report proposes a framework for addressing whānau/family violence based on Māori principles, and discusses how these concepts may be implemented in practice. Colonisation, with its assumption of cultural superiority, is identified as contributing to the incidence of violence amongst Māori families. The authors argue that models of practice should be designed by Māori, for Māori, and not dictated by government policy and legislation, or based upon Pākehā conceptual frameworks. Recommendations include a collective approach to violence intervention strategies involving all members of the whānau, and a plan of action for implementing programmes based upon Māori values and principles.
