NZ Transport Agency Waka Kotahi (NZTA) is back with Sweat with Pride 2025 to raise money for Rainbow communities! 💦🌈
Our schools, workplaces, and doctors’ offices are still not safe places for many Rainbow New Zealanders and it’s putting lives at risk.
More than half our rainbow whānau have experienced mental illness. One in five of our rainbow rangatahi (youth) have attempted suicide. And STIs like syphilis, mpox and HIV are still far too common. Things need to change.
So, this June we’re fighting discrimination with perspiration, and have committed to exercising for at least 21 minutes EVERY DAY to raise money to support Rainbow Kiwis.
Supporting and uplifting the Rainbow Community in Aotearoa New Zealand aligns with our values and behaviours as an organisation that we strive to embody in our work and personal lives.
Ngākau aroha – have heart
Kia māia – be brave
Kotahitanga – better together
Mahia – nail it
Participating in SWP is a highlight for Pride @ Waka Kotahi, our employee led network for the Rainbow Community. In 2024 we ranked 3rd overall in the workplace teams and we are rearing to go again!
