Ko te au manamanata kia rave’ia, koia oki, ko te akakore’anga atu ite au tu ta-kinokino e iri nei ki runga ite Vaine, te ka riro ei ta-mamae ma te aka’takake’anga atu ia ratou, e pera katoa ki te aronga rave-kino e tumu Turanga Māori tikai to ratou. I roto i teia akatau’anga, e mea akaperepere’ia te Vaine i roto ite ngutuare, te kopu-tangata e pera katoa ki roto ite iti-tangata, kua tau rai i reira, kia akarongo’ia tona reo, kia kitea katoa’ia tona turanga tu-rangatira e kia akamatutu’ia no te arataki’anga ite ngutuare tangata.

The problem we are addressing is the stigmatisation and isolation of Women as victims and perpetrators who belong to a deeper sense of Turanga Māori Within this context, women are a treasure to our community and must be heard, valued, and empowered to take our families and community forward.

Ka anoano’ia kia utuutu’ia e kia turuturu’ia teia uki ou Kuki Airani e noo ki Aotearoa nei, kia taui i to ratou tu e ta ratou au peu.

Through intentional collective approach, our Cook Islands communities and families of all age groups and backgrounds, knowledge will be encouraged through location based, collective leadership of ‘our’ voice and positive outcomes. We intend to nurture and support all our Cook Islands generations through meaningful
behavioural change.
