    • #CreateChange Give Now
      • Kia ora Whānau, We believe in creating safe spaces for friends, family and survivors. We don’t want this to change over the Christmas period. Please support us to support those who need it most. This time is often stressful for many, and the prevalence of alcohol can often lead to unsafe situations. We want everyone to remain safe throughout this time – and this campaign serves to remind friends and family of ways they can support survivors by creating safer spaces for them. You can donate on our campaign page here or check out our donate now page for other ways to give. Your support means the world to us and survivors, their families and others who support them in times of crisis. Thank you. P.s. you can also help by printing out our posters and putting them up at your workplace, community centre, local cafe to help us spread the word of hope and change for survivors. #CreateHope #CreateChange #CreateHealing #GiveSafety poster-create-change-a3-v1-1 poster-create-healing-a3-v1-1 poster-give-safety-a3-v1-1

    • Gender Diversity Policy
      • Kia ora koutou, Wellington Rape Crisis has been having lots of discussions over the last while about how we make our services more accessible to people from gender diverse communities and earlier in the year we drafted a new gender diversity policy  and we would love to hear from anyone who belongs to these communities who has thoughts on the policy. A policy is of course only a starting place, so if you or groups you are involved with would like to hear more about what we do and share any thoughts or suggestions about how a service such as ours can be more accessible for rainbow communities we would love to come and meet with you and talk about this some more. To read the policy click here- Gender Diversity Policy Feel free to share this with others and contact us. Nāku, nā

    • Members Event 29th November 2015: Wikipedia Edit-a-thon
      • Wikipedia is one of the first places we turn to for research and information, yet the knowledge that we find on there is created by a very small slice of our society. Do you want to see more feminist or grassroots content on Wikipedia? Come along to our second members event of the year! Learn the art of editing Wikipedia and put your new found knowledge into practise. Let’s improve and increase the coverage of awesome grassroots and/or feminist organisations and projects on Wikipedia! We’ll also be looking for volunteers to make up a page for Wellington Rape Crisis (according to Wikipedia’s rules the organisation’s staff can’t make one for their own organisation). Bring your own idea for a page (we can send you some guidelines for doing pre-research) or edit something that’s already up. If you are able to please bring along a laptop or tablet- though we will have some available there won’t be enough for everyone. Please register your attendance here for catering purposes and to receive information on how to set up your Wikipedia account This event is a Wellington Rape Crisis members’ event. Current member/associate member of Wellington Rape Crisis attend for free. There will be an opportunity to join at the event or you can join online here ($20 for a year’s membership).
