N2  - An event to honour the United Nations Secretary-General's special study on violence against women provided the opportunity to engage with an audience in Auckland to take forward a study of international significance that was very relevant to the local community. The direct link to the work of the United Nations was made real for the 120 women and men of many cultures who attended. 

The aim was to hold a conferenve that could be used as a model for use nationally and regionally based onthe one-day conference held last March by the New York NGO Committee on the Stautus of Women for participants at the 2005 session of the Commission of the Status of Women. The objective was to offer an event that could be replicated easily in any place on a subject that is a critical issue in every country without exception. (From the Foreword).
