Can we solve the problem of violence in Aotearoa New Zealand?

The contributors to this book offer us hope that we can.

• Jane and James Ritchie challenge people to first commit to end violence personally and in their families, and to then work outwards to their local communities, the country and internationally.
• Kate Birch suggests how to parent so that children gain skills and confidence rather than creating fear of punishment.
• Children’s Commissioner, Roger McClay, urges us to ensure children have quality care, to create safe environments for them and to protect them from abuse and violence.
• Brian Easton argues for a return to economic policies that promote social coherence.
• Derek Wilson advocates a fundamentally different world order and documents the hurdles to be overcome.
• Anne Powell’s sensitive poems encourage us to reflect on other’s suffering and their lives.
• Sister Tui Cadigan addresses the need for Maori women to regain their cultural and spiritual roots to restore their mana wahine.
