flag New Zealand surpassed goals in its anti-violence plan, cutting family violence deaths by 53% and expanding safety programs nationwide.

flag New Zealand has met all milestones in its second Te Aorerekura Action Plan ahead of schedule, achieving measurable progress in reducing family and sexual violence. flag Key successes include strengthened multi-agency responses across regions like Auckland, Rotorua, and Canterbury, with intensive outreach in Rotorua supporting 1,200 high-risk individuals from February to April 2025—equivalent to addressing 350 incidents monthly. flag Expanded safety programs were launched at five Auckland district courts, and rehabilitation support was extended to remand prisoners. flag The Canterbury Integrated Safety Response model, credited with a 53% drop in family violence homicides, is being replicated nationally. flag Officials emphasize that coordinated, community-led efforts and improved agency collaboration have driven these life-saving outcomes, underscoring the need for sustained, non-political action.
