  • The walk is totally voluntary, but the more men the merrier
  • bring your own heels or women’s footwear
  • the walk starts from the Five Cross Roads Hamilton Community Link car park, will travel through the commercial hub of Five Cross Roads shopping area, down to the Migrant Centre on Boundary Road and back again.

Plant a stake in the ground against family violence
Date(s) of Event: 26/11/15
Time of Event: 10am to noon
Venue: Good News Community Centre, Crawshaw
Town: Hamilton
Hamilton residents are invited to “put a stake in the ground” against family violence this November 26 and plant a white ribbon outside the Good News Community Centre, Crawshaw.

The two-hour event, from 10am to 12pm, will feature true-life stories. Children from Crawshaw School have been working on a video presentation of their reactions to family violence, and this will be shown at the event. Dr Neville Robertson, a Waikato University domestic violence specialist, will talk about the “power and control wheel”, which explains the dynamics of an abusive relationship. A staff member from Family Works Waikato will also speak about the programmes they run to support women and children who have been victims of violence in the home.

The organisers are also hoping to display a 14m quilt embroidered with the names of 136 children who were killed by their parents or caregivers between 1990 and 2010. Dubbed ‘Counterpain’, the quilt was designed by fabric artist Thelma McGough as a memorial and to raise awareness of the extent of family violence in New Zealand.
