Abstract
Dr. Ang Jury is the CEO of Women's Refuge New Zealand. Ang grew up in Waitara, a small town in the Taranaki region of Aotearoa/New Zealand's North Island. Although she was a straight-A student, she chose to leave school at age 15, start a family, and move to Tauranga. Her marriage ended in her 30s, and she decided to study to be a social worker. She attended Massey University, where she completed an undergraduate degree and then decided to continue on to doctoral research focused on the role of shame within abusive relationships. She gained her PhD in 2008. Encouraged to volunteer in her community as part of her studies, Dr. Jury joined the Palmerston North Women's Refuge. She has worked in the domestic violence area for over 20 years, mostly within the Women's Refuge movement in Aotearoa, beginning as a volunteer, then advocate, then to management and Board member, and eventually Chief Executive. In addition, she has been instrumental in the development of cross-agency collaborations both regionally and nationally. Dr Jury has presented her research to forums within New Zealand and internationally. In addition to her work with Women's Refuge, she has worked to develop and coordinate family violence collaborations within the Manawatu and Whanganui regions under the umbrella of the government's Te Rito Family Violence Strategy. In the 2022 New Year's Honours List, Dr Jury became an Officer of the New Zealand Order of Merit (ONZM) awarded by Queen Elizabeth II.Deep Blue DOI
