This Evidence to Practice Session features the National Mortality Review Committee (Formerly the FVDRC) presenting on their recently published report Femicide: Deaths resulting from gender-based violence in Aotearoa New Zealand (2025). This session will explore key findings from the report, which examines deaths resulting from gender-based violence, including intimate partner violence, maternal suicide, and perinatal mortality. The presentation highlights inequities experienced by wāhine and kōtiro Māori, emergent issues such as technology-facilitated abuse and repeated brain injury, and gaps in data collection that hinder accurate reporting. The session will also cover recommendations aligned with New Zealand’s obligations under CEDAW and collaborative strategies for prevention and response.
Please direct all questions to the organisers.
