New research links domestic violence, housing poverty, and unmet housing needs to wāhine Māori in Hauraki, where 50% of housing is Auckland investor-owned, urging national policy action.
New Māori research, 'He Whare, He Taonga', establishes a direct link between domestic violence, housing poverty, and unmet housing needs. The study reveals that wāhine Māori face systemic and institutional violence, exacerbated by the lack of housing inventory in Hauraki, where 50% of housing is owned by Auckland investors. This research serves as a national call to action for policymakers to prioritize impacted wāhine and address the intersectional issues they face in accessing shelter.
