Māori women are being forced into choosing to stay with abusive partners rather than deal with police and State racism. Lawyer and children's rights advocate Julia Whaipooti says it's time for change.
600 Māori and Pasifika people have shared their perspectives on the use of armed police. Our survey closes on Wednesday 4 March and we're aiming for 1,000 responses before then. If you're Māori or Pasifika and you haven't yet taken our survey, will you please do so now? ➡️[ Ссылка ]
New research by JustSpeak shows that police are almost two times as likely to send Māori who have no police record or contact with the justice system to court than they are Pākehā. To put that another way, what this research shows is that members of the police force are more likely to act favourably toward Pākehā than they are Māori. This again backs up what Māori have been saying for a very long time — the justice system is fundamentally racist. You can read the research in full here ➡️bit.ly/3a6oNuA
