his week we have Grace Millane in our hearts and minds. The 28-year-old man who murdered this beautiful soul on the eve of her 22nd birthday was sentenced to 17 years behind bars on Friday. Her family spoke of their emotional pain and suffering via a video link from London, a photo of their beloved Grace hanging on the wall behind them. Sadly, her murder has been a stark reminder of New Zealand’s appalling record of violence against women. Responding to family violence accounts for 40% of frontline police time in our country – but still half of the homicides here are related to domestic abuse. When statistics show that one in three Kiwi women are abused by a partner – and not all incidents are reported – it seems clear we all have to collectively help to keep our families safe. It’s why Woman’s Day is supporting The Project and Women’s Refuge to launch the Love Grace charitable campaign in NZ (page 34).

with essential items to help women escape to a safer future and feel valued. This week a grieving Tauranga father tells the harrowing story of the death of his teen daughter Halayna and her unborn child (page 30). A jury found her partner guilty of kidnapping and assaulting her the night she died. Dad Darren urges friends and whanau to speak up when they suspect there is abuse in a relationship. Our hearts go out to the family of Brisbane mother Hannah Baxter, whose estranged husband allegedly set fire to the family car, killing their three children inside. Hannah died in hospital later. The horrific killings have rocked us. We all have a role to play if we suspect violence against women we know. It’s heartbreakingg to think of mums and kids living in feear. Please reach ou ut and urge women to seek help or offer assistancee if you know someone in need.
