Speak Up, Stand Together, Stop Bullying!
By taking part in Pink Shirt Day on Friday 16 May, you're doing your part to eliminate bullying by celebrating diversity and promoting kindness and inclusion.
Pink Shirt Day is the day Aotearoa comes together to take a stand against bullying. 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!
Pink Shirt Day began in Canada in 2007 when two students took a stand against homophobic bullying after a new Year 10 student was harassed and threatened for wearing pink. These students bought dozens of pink shirts and distributed them to their classmates to wear the next day. The word got out online and hundreds of students showed up in pink, some from head-to-toe, to stand together against bullying.
The effects of bullying are far-reaching and long-lasting. Bullying can lead to mental health issues like anxiety and depression, hinder academic performance, and induce social isolation, affecting one's overall well-being and quality of life.
Speak up, stand together and stop bullying. Kua rite koe? Are you in?
