We, the undersigned, call on the Government to urgently restore funding to sexual violence prevention and to RespectEd Aotearoa specifically, which will be forced to close in August without intervention.

In New Zealand, we’re very fortunate to have a public healthcare system. But for too long, it's had some major flaws: our system doesn’t care for all our communities equally, services are often disconnected and it doesn’t look after our healthcare workers – the people who work hard every day to support our health – with fair pay and conditions.
Every year, more than 100,000 New Zealanders are made redundant, laid off, or have to stop working because of a health condition or disability.
