A little reminder to fill your cup, too.

Sometimes looking after yourself looks different from day to day. There’s no right way to do it, just find what helps you feel a little more like you. ❤️

Looking to make your venue or event a safer space?

Red Light is a sexual violence prevention initiative working with venues and events across Aotearoa to support safer nights out through practical, discreet, and effective tools.

We currently operate across Southland, Otago, and Queenstown-Lakes, and are continuing to grow into Ōtautahi. Our system includes:
* A discreet code phrase patrons can use when they need help or using our logo
* Clear staff procedures to guide safe responses
* Posters and support cards for venues
* Ongoing support to help your team feel confident responding

We’re now looking for new venues and events who want to come on board and be part of creating safer environments for their patrons and staff.

If this sounds like something your venue or event would be interested in, we’d love to hear from you.

We’re still out in venues across the South Island 💡

Red Light is about making sure you feel safe, supported, and respected when you’re out.

If you ever need help, just ask for Red Light.

✨ Real change starts with us.

Preventing sexual violence isn’t just a job for experts, it’s something all of us can be part of.

Whether you’re a mate checking in, a bartender creating safer nights out, a teacher holding space for kōrero, or someone unlearning harmful norms, your actions matter.

Every boundary respected, every harmful comment challenged, every space made safer, it all adds up.

This is how we prevent harm before it happens.

Together. Collectively. Actively.

🧡 What’s one small action you’ve taken (or want to take) to help create safer communities?
