Violence Prevention Services
Information about services that can help you if you are experiencing or witnessing violence, or want to change your own behaviour.
Shakti is a national not-for-profit community organisation specialised in the area of women’s development, empowerment and domestic/ family violence intervention, prevention and awareness. We are a specialist provider of culturally competent support services for women, children and families of Asian, African and Middle Eastern origin. Over the years, the support group has grown from the confines of one tiny room to a national umbrella organisation with 7 member organisations in Central, West and South Auckland, Central North Island and South Island. This website has information on how we can help if you or someone you know is in a situation of domestic violence. We encourage you to reach out to us if you are living a life of fear and violence or if you are unsure that you are affected by domestic violence.
