Data collection and resource allocation CEDAW Arts: 1 SDGs: 5 Sustainable Development Goals 38. The New Zealand Government endorsed the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development. Many of the Goals have a direct correlation to CEDAW obligations such as achieving gender equality (Goal 5), ensuring decent work for all (Goal 8), and reducing inequalities (Goal 10). There is a lack of robust disaggregated data across the key indicators for these goals. This makes it difficult to accurately understand areas of multiple discrimination for women in relation to characteristics such as ethnicity, gender, and disability. Furthermore, there is still no overarching plan about how the SDGs will be measured or implemented. Recommendation 11 a. Ensure that the environmental, social, and economic sustainability indicators that are currently under development by the Government reflect the targets and indicators set out in the SDGs as they relate to women. b. Develop comprehensive data collection measures for the SDGs. c. Develop a plan for implementation of the SDGs including clear timeframes, appointment of a lead Minister and identification of responsible Government agencies to lead the required indicator and data collection activities. Family violence data 39. New Zealand does not have a single data source dedicated to family violence. Data is recorded in numerous places including the Police, the Ministry of Justice, the Ministry of Health, NGOs, Child and Youth Mortality Review Committee, Family Violence Death Review Committee reports, and other bodies. These different bodies may use different terminology, for example the Police talk about “family harm” while the Ministry of Justice use the term “domestic violence”. Not all data is collected, for example Police are often not recording the relationship between the victim and offender.46 Recommendation 12 Ensure systematic collection and publication of data regarding family violence, disaggregated by sex, ethnicity, type of violence, and by the relationship of the perpetrator to the victim. Collect data on the number of women killed by partners or ex-partners; and ensure data is available in one data source. 46 New Zealand Family Violence Clearinghouse (2017) NZFVC Data Summaries 2017: Family violence reports reach record high, https://nzfvc.org.nz/news/nzfvc-data-summaries-2017-family-violence-reports-reach-record-high 14
