Ang Jury is CEO of Women's Refuge, New Zealand's largest nation-wide organisation that supports and helps women and children experiencing family violence.

"We need to stop doing this to each other" Ang Jury CEO Women's Refuge

New Zealand has one of the highest rates of domestic violence in the developed world, with one in three women experiencing domestic violence in her lifetime. In this episode of Creating Connections, we have a very honest conversation with Ang to find out what we can do to make Aotearoa a country where every woman and child, no matter who they are or where they come from, feel loved, valued and safe.

Despite these disturbing statistics, Ang's vision is for a country where refuge is no longer needed - a country where our focus is on growing great people, not helping those who are hurt, a country where relationships are good and healthy. In this podcast, she asks us all to commit to changing these domestic violence statistics and have a sustained conversation that is transparent and non-judgmental.
