The countdown is on for Pink Shirt Day 2024, with preparations well under way to mark the annual event against bullying on 17 May.
To help raise awareness about bullying, especially in schools, the day is set aside to celebrate diversity, promoting kindness and inclusion.
The Mental Health Foundation of New Zealand (MHFNZ) has run the campaign since 2012, inspiring tangata to Kōrero Mai, Kōrero Atu, Mauri Tū, Mauri Ora – Speak Up, Stand Together, Stop Bullying!
Money raised helps fund education workshops, and supplying thousands of free resources that promote inclusive workplaces, schools, and communities.
