Starting out on the volunteer help line at Shine some 20 years ago, Holly always felt passionate about the cause and delved deep into the details and policies that surrounded Domestic Violence in New Zealand.

With systemic barriers, safety and support walls and the general public attitude towards the issue, Holly wanted to share knowledge and insight and raise awareness to create prevalence on the topic.

Holly is focused on build a world where we can be safe, shifting the culture of New Zealanders and bringing attention to an issue that was amplified during lockdown and an onslaught of demand of the services of Shine.

She calls for action from our community to use your influence to play a part and advocate at a local level to get this agenda into the hearts and minds of senior leaders of New Zealand.
