Birth Trauma Awareness Week is fast approaching 💙

Awareness Week is next week - July 13 - 18 - and is a time to learn, reflect, kōrero, challenge, and offer support.

Globally, this year's theme is: 'The cost of birth trauma'.

During the week we will be highlighting the immense cost that physical and/or psychological birth trauma can create for individuals, whānau and the wider community 💙

We will also, again, be promoting our '50 for 50' campaign which invites people to do 50 of something over Awareness Week, as a way to acknowledge and honour the 50 Māmā/birthing parents impacted by psychological birth trauma PER DAY in Aotearoa - keep an eye out for more info., over the next days and weeks 💙

Lastly, to Aotearoa's birth trauma community - as you see more about birth trauma in the lead up to, and during, Awareness Week please remember it's OK to take care of yourself and step away for a little while if you need to 💙

Auckland Women's Centre condemns this government’s transphobic gender bill in the strongest possible terms.

“This bill is a direct attack on trans and gender-diverse whānau,” says Centre manager Maia Hall. “We are deeply angry at those in power who are doing the opposite of empowering our communities with protection and respect.”

This bill will make women and gender-diverse whānau less safe.

Any policing of gender gives authorities, predators and misogynists more power to police women’s bodies, appearance, identity and behaviour.

At the very same time this government has:
• cut pay equity
• cut violence prevention funding
• removed relationships and sexuality education guidelines
• undermined women’s support services

“This is an abhorrent attempt by patriarchal politicians to divide our communities.”

We support the right of all our communities to live in safety, free from gender discrimination
