520 _aSocial problems of domestic violence have been a focus of community and Government attention in Aotearoa New Zealand for over four decades. This article presents early research findings in a community-based social change project that focuses on acts of resistance to interpersonal violence. The praxis of the Tū Mai Awa project is informed by interweaving Māori protocols, principles, and values, with principles of Response-Based Practice, in which domestic violence is recognised as a gendered social problem that is supported by psychologising attributions and other discursive operations. In the first half of this article we present Tu Mai Awa’s framework for a biculturally sensitive and consistent approach to interventions with victims and perpetrators of violence, and to systems advocacy with organisations and institutions across the sector. In the second half of the article, we present findings of research conducted with project participants that aimed to better understand the scope of personal experiences that inform Tu Mai Awa practice. The findings are presented as a thematic analysis of diverse experiences leading to a common commitment to work for non-violent futures, and an analysis of the storylines for telling how we have come to our commitments for change.
