Who we are
Our Whakapapa
In 2018, TOAH-NNEST Tauiwi Caucus responded to a request from a group of individuals and rainbow organisations who wanted to collaborate to advance work in this space. This was part of a commitment to support sexual violence prevention initiatives led by marginalised communities. An informal network was subsequently formed and has met monthly since.
Over the past four years we have grown our membership and have received funding for various projects. We are Aotearoa’s leading network solely committed to rainbow violence prevention.
Purpose
Our goal is to make Aotearoa a place where all rainbow people are free of family and sexual violence, and all rainbow people who have experienced harm have access to safe supports.
Our Values
- Bodily autonomy
- Trauma-informed approaches
- Critical self reflection
- Respect
