N2  - This thesis explores the role of mana wahine in the development of Te Whare Rokiroki Maori Women's Refuge in New Zealand/Aotearoa.

The author concludes that a mana wahine perspective is critical to the development of the Refuge and to achieving positive, long-term change in relation both to domestic violence and wider, related issues. At a fundamental level, the means through which development and change is achieved is Maori culture, tikanga and te reo
