Liver transplantation has been available in New Zealand since 1998 for people with acute or chronic liver failure, or primary liver cancer.

This chapter investigates whether restorative justice has the potential to not only provide victims of gendered violence with a sense of justice but also whether it can address violence that is power-based and reflective of entrenched societal attitudes and beliefs.
