In 2015 Counties Manukau East Police identified an increase in offending by young women, particularly Māori and Pacific aged 14 -18 years. Local Youth Aid staff noted the lack of a suitable alternative action programme specifically for young women. They believed these young women had a significant role to play in families, schools and their communities and empowering them to make positive changes would also affect their friends, whānau and community. Youth Aid staff, in partnership with Otara Blue light, developed “Te Huringa o te Tai ngā Wāhine” (Turning the Tide for Young Women) targeting predominantly Māori and Pacific young women. This programme has developed over the past four years with the support of significant business partners (Vodafone and Skycity) and the local community. The aim was to build a positive framework for these young women to make positive life choices, to improve life outcomes for them and their friends and whanau, to reduce reoffending and victimisation of this group. Offending by Māori and Pacific young women in the Counties Manukau East area has reduced 28% over 4 years and overall total reoffending for young women has reduced 33%.
