This report supports the work programme of Ngā Kaitiaki Mauri from the greater work of the Taskforce for Action on Sexual Violence (2009), in presenting their Primary Prevention Programme for eliminating sexual violence within whānau. The research document Te Puāwaitanga o te Kākano provided Ngā Kaitiaki Mauri with a Māori responsive approach to sexual violence intervention and prevention strategies and explored from a historical perspective, demographic, societal, economic and political influences that have impacted on indigenous knowledge. Preventative factors, core protective principles, possible points for intervention and key messages for Māori communities were identified. (from the Foreword). Record #4844
