Child poverty and domestic violence are still not being taken seriously enough by ordinary New Zealanders, says The Salvation Army.
On Wednesday The Salvation Army released its latest annual State of the Nation report reviewing social progress in New Zealand
The report acknowledges creditable progress in some areas of social wellbeing.
However, Salvation Army Social Policy Director Major Campbell Roberts is adamant, “New Zealanders are failing to convince Government that the elimination of family violence and child poverty should be a greater priority. A better balance in economic and social policy is required to put a significant dent in child poverty and domestic violence.”
