Whakarāpopototia te tuhinga:  Kua kitea e tētahi whakawātea i takahi i tana kawenga ki te tiaki i tētahi whaea taiohi, nāna i ki atu kia 'pupuri i ōna waewae' i muri i te mamae o te whaea taiohi i te wa o te whanautanga. I rongo hoki te New Zealand's Human Rights Review Tribunal i te kaitiaki hapori a Natasha Thomson i te ono meneti i muri i te whanautanga o te tamaiti i te whare o tana turoro i te Hanuere 15, 2012. I mahia e ia tenei ahakoa te whiwhi i nga waea e rima i roto i te haora kotahi mai i te whaea i whakaahua i a ia ano he'mate mamae'. I kitea e te New Zealand Human Rights Review Tribunal kāore tētahi kaiwhakawhanau i hoatu i te tiaki tika ki tētahi whaea taiohi i muri i tana whiu i tētahi roimata ā-hinengaro i a ia e whanau ana. I tētahi wā, ka whakakahoretia e Ms Thomson ngā karanga nui ake o te wahine e whanau ana, tōna tāne me te whaea o te wahine mā te ki atu 'he wā ka mataku ngā whaea rangatahi ina tīmata te mahi,' i tuhituhi te kōti i roto i tana whakataunga. Ko te tūroro - e mōhiotia ana i roto i ngā tuhinga o te marae ko 'Mrs B' - i whānau i tana pēpi 'i runga i ōna ringa me ōna turi i roto i te wharepaku.' Kaore a Thomson i kawe i tana kutikuti hei tapahi i te taura umbilical, engari me whakamahi i nga kutikuti o te whare i kitea e te hoa o te taiohi, a Mr B. I muri i te tirotiro i te perineum a Ms B - te rohe i waenga i te kopu me te anus - ka kii a Thomson ki te whaea he roimata. He whanautanga te kāinga, ā, i tae pōuri mai te kaiwhakawhanau ahakoa e rima ngā waea i waea mai i roto i te haora kotahi mai i te whaea e kī ana i a ia i roto i te'mate mamae' I whānau mai te whaea taiohi i tana pēpi 'i runga i ona ringa me ona turi i roto i te wharepaku' I kī a ia ehara i te mea kino te roimata, e kī ana he 'roimata iti noa iho.' I titiro anō a Thomson ki te puku o tana tūroro, kātahi ka tohutohu ki a Ms B kia 'he wahine,' kia noho tahi ōna waewae, kia whakarerekē hoki i ōna kākahu i ngā wā katoa. Engari e kī ana ngā tuhinga a te kōti i tukuna a Ms B ki te hōhipera i muri mai. Kaore ano hoki te kaiwhakawhanau i korero ki nga matua hou me pehea te tiaki tika i te whara, i te mea ka pangia e te mate. E ai ki ngā tuhinga a te Kooti, i haere a Ms. B ki te hōhipera i muri i ngā wiki i te wā i tukuna ai ia e te kaiwhakawhanau ki te...
I tae mai a Natasha Thomson i te ono meneti i muri i te whanautanga o te tamaiti. Ahakoa e rima nga waea i waea mai ki a ia i roto i te haora kotahi mai i te whaea. He whanautanga i te kāinga, ā, he'mate mamae' te mamae I whanau tana tamaiti 'i runga i ona ringa me ona turi i roto i te wharepaku' I whakamahia e Thomson ngā kutikuti o te kīhini o te whaea ki te tapahi i te taura umbilical. I muri i te tirotiro i te puku o Ms B, ka mea ia he 'raru iti' I ki atu ia ki a Ms B kia rite ki te 'wahine', me te pupuri i ona waewae. Engari e kī ana ngā tuhinga a te kōti i tukuna a Ms B ki te hōhipera i muri mai.
