The Government wants to make sure family violence victims are kept safe and people who use family violence are held to account.
To do this, Parliament passed two major pieces of new legislation: the Family Violence Act 2018 and the Family Violence (Amendments) Act 2018. The Sexual Violence Legislation Bill has passed its Second Reading.
Through Budget 2022, the Government is continuing to invest in a future where everyone can live free from violence. The Budget 2022 package has been driven by Te Aorerekura – the National Strategy to Eliminate Family Violence and Sexual Violence.
Budget 2022 invests $114.5 million operating funding over four years in primary prevention, community-led responses and improved workforce capability to strengthen community approaches to eliminating family violence and sexual violence.
This funding will make a difference for people across Aotearoa. It ensures that when people reach out for help government agencies, communities and providers will work together to provide safe, caring and respectful responses.
