This article explores the unique role and mandate of the religious sector and the implications of this in preventing and
addressing violence and child abuse. It calls on New Zealand government ministries to include the religious sector in
joined up approaches to violence and child abuse prevention and intervention and for religious institutions and
communities to prioritise these issues, harness their potential to prevent and respond to child abuse and address barriers
within their religious settings which can perpetuate or enable such violence and abuse. (From the article).
