about prevalence of white male violence says academic
Marama Davidson shouldn’t have to apologise for telling the truth about the prevalence of white male violence, an academic says.
Eileen Joy, a professional teaching fellow and doctoral candidate at the University of Auckland, has come out in support of Davidson, saying that statistics on family violence don’t always paint the full picture. Her PhD thesis looks at child protection in Aotearoa.
Davidson, who is the Minister for Prevention of Family and Sexual Violence, made headlines at a trans rights protest on Saturday.
"I am a violence prevention minister and I know who causes violence in the world, it is white, cis men,” Davidson said.
Davidson later clarified her comment saying she made the comments while being questioned by a far-right media outlet and had just been hit by a motorcycle at a pedestrian crossing.
