By taking part in Pink Shirt Day 2024, the Ministry of Health - Manatū Hauora is doing our part to eliminate bullying by celebrating diversity and promoting kindness and inclusion. Those in our Te Whanganui a Tara (Wellington) office came together today for a shared morning tea. Championed by the Mental Health Foundation of New Zealand, today is about creating a community where all people feel safe, valued and respected, regardless of gender identity, sexual orientation, age, ability, religion or cultural background. This extends to online communities as well. We encourage you to take part today and everyday, to stamp out bullying and celebrating diversity & promoting kindness and inclusion. Kōrero Mai, Kōrero Atu, Mauri Tū, Mauri Ora! Speak Up, Stand Together, Stop Bullying! #pinkshirtday 📷 Deputy Director-General's Simon Medcalf and Robyn Shearer at the Ministry’s Pink Shirt Day shared morning tea.
