Stand By Me : The Story Of Te Whakaruruhau Waikato Women's Refuge
Paperback Edition: 1
Stand By Me: The Story of Te Whakaruruhau Waikato Women's Refuge is a book about courageous women those who survive domestic violence, and those who help them get their lives back on track.
Te Whakaruruhau is New Zealand's largest women's refuge and has helped thousands of women and children during its more than 30-year history. The refuge began in a humble one-bedroomed flat and grew to a multi-million dollar organisation, advising governments on how to combat violence in the home. The story of the refuge's founders - Roni Albert and Ariana Simpson - is the backdrop to a story of horror and healing. It is a story of commitment to a kaupapa of unconditional kindness and non-judgmental care, where women are accepted without question, and supported until they feel ready to step out on their own. It is a story about what it takes to change attitudes and lives. Both inspiring and honest, it will leave readers with a far better understanding of domestic violence and the steps that must be taken to address it.
