Family Works Northern

Millions of women around the world needlessly suffer the indignities of coercive control, a violation of human rights that is entirely preventable.

On top of living in fear and having to manage a partner’s controlling demands, many women also have to deal with victim-blaming from those around them. This 𝐈𝐧𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐧𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐚𝐥 𝐖𝐨𝐦𝐞𝐧’𝐬 𝐃𝐚𝐲, we can all take action.

How can you help?
✨ Respectfully challenge those who ‘blame the victim’ where you can.
✨ Listen without judgment.
✨ Advocate for the safety of all women and children in our community.

Let's work together for a future where every home is safe.

What an incredible day at the Rainbow Parade NZ! Our Family Works Northern team had a good time celebrating love, identity, and community spirit.

We march because we believe every child and every whānau in Aotearoa deserves to grow up in a world where they are fully accepted, seen, and celebrated. Supporting our diverse communities to thrive is at the heart of what we do, because when our families are strong and inclusive, we build a better life for everyone.

Thank you to everyone who shared their joy and vibrant colour with us! It was an honor to stand with you.

On Aotearoa New Zealand Social Workers Day, we celebrate our incredible Family Works social workers - everyday heroes who walk alongside individuals, tamariki and whānau in their most vulnerable moments, helping them find strength, dignity, and hope. You don’t just make a difference. You are the difference! 🫶
