Timeline
We have compiled this timeline to document progress and setbacks on the journey towards the prevention and elimination of family violence and sexual violence in Aotearoa New Zealand. It highlights key milestones of national or international significance, key research with policy or practice implications and the seeding of new initiatives. For some population groups, events may be drawn from a wider range of sources. The timeline is a living resource. We make changes and updates regularly. We welcome feedback.
