Female MP's are silenced and ejected from Parliament after speaking about their experiences of sexual assault

Two female MPs were thrown out of New Zealand's Parliament House after protesting about their experiences of sexual assault.

Prime Minister John Key shouted across the floor "you back rapists”, aiming his comment at the the Greens and Labor MPs during question time in Wellington on Tuesday.

Mr Key claims the female MPs cared more about child molesters and rapists than the rest of the population after they raised concerns over the detention of citizens awaiting deportation due to the Australian government cancelling visas for those convicted of crimes.

“Some of the [detainees] are rapists, some of them are child molesters, and some of them are murders," he said in Parliament.

A protest resulted after Mr Key’s refusal to apologise for the comments, leading to six female MPs speaking out about being victims of sexual violence, some of them for the first time.

Denise Roche from the Greens stated she "endured years of sexual assault as a child, so to come to Parliament and have the Prime Minister say that I back rapists is incredibly offensive."

Metiria Turei, Greens member, didn't think anyone would believe her, "Like so many others, I didn't go to the police and I didn't tell anyone. When the prime minister says `you stand up for rapists' he has no idea who he is talking to."

Another Greens member was offended by the comment and told Parliament she "was a victim of sexual assault. I was 15, now I'm 62. It's not an easy thing to say, it's a scary thing to do."

Greens member, Marama Davidson, said she was a survivor of sexual violence as a young girl and she takes “a take deep personal offence at the Prime Minister” for accusing her of backing rapists.

Clare Curran from Labour spoke of a night she was walking home and a man pulled her into a bush and tried to rape her.

Mojo Mathers, a member of the Greens, spoke out for the first time about her horrific encounter: "I was sexually assaulted when I was five years old, it lasted for many years and, like many other women, I never disclosed it."

On Wednesday David Carter, the Parliament's speaker, said the women were out of line after their public announcement as Ms Davidson and Ms Williams were thrown out of the house.

Of the 585 in the deportation pipeline, 34 have been convicted of child sex offences, 22 for murder and 16 for rape and sexual offences.
