"Our Voices Matter": turning rights into reality.

Join Pillars Ka Pou Whakahou Ngā Rangatira Mō Apōpō for a youth‑led online kōrero held in partnership with Mana Mokopuna – Children’s Commissioner. 

This is a rare opportunity to hear directly from rangatahi who are using their experiences to advocate for a more compassionate and effective system. 

Growing up with whānau in prison offers a unique lens on the world, in particular the justice system and surrounding supports. Ngā Rangatira Mō Āpōpō will spotlight their Bill of Rights for Tamariki Impacted by Whānau Incarceration, sharing what these rights mean in everyday life and what needs to change to make them a lived reality for future tamariki. 

It will also include a facilitated Q&A and keynote speech from Dr Claire Achmad, the Children's Commissioner.
