Today is international White Ribbon Day - it's the day when people wear a white ribbon to show that they do not condone violcence towards women.
At an event this afternoon outside Parliament the Chief Ombudsman who is the Patron of the White Ribbon Trust, Peter Boshier, said New Zealand is a great country, but it needs to get on top of its shameful violence record.
He speaks with Karyn about the need to bring about change.
