Have you ever thought of the harm that could affect your child from sexualised, or sexual violence? Aviva is hosting a series of workshops within the Christchurch Pasifika Community to help shape a safe future for our children.

Let’s talk as parents. Let’s have a conversation as a family.

These workshops are open to anyone in and/or connected with the Pasifika community.

Points of Talanoa in these workshops:

Appropriate & acceptable language for talanoa.
What is sexualised & sexual violence?
Barriers to disclosure.
Responding to disclosure.
Creating an agreed upon, healthy and safe pathway for support

Discussion will take place predominantly in English and Samoan. Workshop discussions are meant to start a conversation and to raise awareness, but may be used to help guide safety measures, prevention, policy, support, and resources for Pasifika children affected by sexual violence.
