When you have known someone your whole life, grown up with them and have to watch them be taken out of this world the way she was is undescribable. The sadness that her kids suffer everyday is unimaginable. Never in a million years would I have guessed Wo would end up where she is the way she did. The anger we all feel towards the low life who did this knowing he will be out of jail soon. Knowing he will carry on living life and probably do it to someone else. Where is the justice? #enoughisenough
Enough is Enough Over the next few days over 140 Work and Income service centres nationwide will receive the DVD titled Enough is Enough, about their colleague Trish McGrath who was killed earlier this year in an act of family violence. Trish was working as a case manager at the Whangarei Central Community Link when she died. It’s a sobering story and reminds us that family violence can affect all sorts of people in our community: colleagues, clients, friends and family. With White Ribbon Day on 25 November and the recent media coverage about attitudes towards family violence in New Zealand, this story is very relevant to us all. The documentary is the initiative of the Northland District Health Board, New Zealand Police and Family and Community Services. Trish’s family, friends, doctors and police worked to produce this compelling film about the devastating impact of domestic violence and the importance of speaking out against it. Work and Income is grateful to the organisers who have made a copy available to all Work and Income service centres across New Zealand. We invite you to view Patricia’s story, it is a little over 25 minutes long. It is also available online at Enough is Enough - WOWO - with captions

thank you for sharing your story my words cannot express the sorrow that is my heart for your family and the other women family's that are killed at the hand of men stand up men raise your voices and let the world know violence toward anyone is unacceptable
The It's not OK campaign is a community-driven effort to reduce family violence in New Zealand. Its goal is to change attitudes and behaviour that tolerate any kind of family violence. The Campaign's vision is a community where each person believes there is something they can do to help and is likely to act when they know violence is happening.
Nga mihi nui a whanau McGrath. You are all so brave and courageous to stand in your mamae and speak out! Such an inspirational and emotional journey for you all and I thank you once, twice thrice for your voices!!! Te tapu o te whare tangata me te ahua atua o te tamarikim mo nga tangata katoa!
Thank you so much for sharing, such a inspirational story! I knew Trish for a short while, and it is such a sad loss for everyone as she was a beautiful woman! Enough is Enough! It needs to stop! My aroha to all Trish's whanau xoxo....
some of the men in this country need to sort their issues out from the past and stop bullying and abusing women. Making women conform by using threatening behaviour, am sick of hearing excuses. Mean Korero and big ups to the whanau for trying to make a difference. I knew Trish and she didn't deserve this kaka. My aroha to Trish's children, mother and extended whanau.
Jade Rakich-Tuhiwai your aunty. I'm so Sorry. Such an inspirational story. I know you and your whanau are still hurt but I will be here for you where ever. RIP PATRICIA. You are missed dearly. Awesome documentary to watch, love it.
