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) UR - https://files.vine.org.nz/koha-files/free-from-abuse-2002.pdf ER -
