The Issue

Christine Masters, a US mother, bravely fled a profoundly serious domestic violence situation in the US. She sought safety for herself and her young daughter in New Zealand. However, her survival is threatened as her former partner, a non-biological father to her child, is currently petitioning New Zealand immigration to force her deportation back to a hazardous and challenging situation.

The records substantiate the severity of this man's dangerous behavior, and deportation poses an immediate threat to her and her daughter's safety. We, therefore, ask Immigration Minister Erica Stanford and Associate Minister Chris Penk to intervene in this case. Their intervention is crucial in preventing Christine and her daughter from getting pushed back into the hands of a dangerous individual. Let's prioritise safety and human rights, ensuring that Christine Masters and her daughter find sanctuary and security in New Zealand. Reflecting the core values of due protection under New Zealand's Immigration Act 2009, we humbly urge ministers to take a stand against domestic violence by intervening in this matter. Please sign this petition to support Christine Masters's fight for safety.
