The research was undertaken through individual interviews and focus groups with 30 women and is framed within the wider context of Maori women's experiences of employment and family violence. The report argues that both employment and education policies have increasingly marginalised Maori women and that family violence intensifies this marginalisation. This is seen in unemployment and family violence statistics, in which Maori women are consistently over-represented. The author also argues that in addition to the negative health and wellbeing outcomes that family violence presents to women, Maori women's employment is affected through their partner coming to their workplace and creating scenes, increased sick days recovering from violent episodes, and lower productivity due to the stress of always being aware of their partner's potential to be violent UR - https://files.vine.org.nz/koha-files/Maori Women and Work _1999_.pdf ER -
