Ngā Vaka o Kāiga Tapu: It’s application 

KAUPAPA KŌRERO

Ngā Vaka o Kāiga Tapu – the sailing vessels of sacred families is a conceptual framework for addressing family violence in eight Pacific communities in Aotearoa, New Zealand. It is informed by, and aligned with, the eight ethnic specific conceptual reports on addressing family violence, and a literature review. Jean will talk about her involvement in this and its application for Pacific families in Aotearoa, New Zealand.
