Standing up for inclusivity and kindness
Posted: 2 June 2021
Reference #: 1HALRo
On 21 May, New Zealanders of all ages, shapes, sizes, ethnicities and backgrounds turned all shades of māwhero for Pink Shirt Day – a day where we can all stand up for inclusivity and kindness.
Celebrated annually around the globe, Pink Shirt Day began in Canada in 2007 when two students took a stand against homophobic bullying, after a peer was bullied for wearing a pink shirt. In Aotearoa, Pink Shirt Day works to create schools, workplaces, communities and whānau where everyone feels safe, valued and respected.
Kōrero Mai, Kōrero Atu, Mauri Tū, Mauri Ora – Speak Up, Stand Together, Stop Bullying!
Ideas to keep the Pink Shirt Day Kaupapa going all year long are available at pinkshirtday.org.nz/schools(external link)
