Our research
Hohou Te Rongo Kahukura believes in the power of community voice, and hearing from everyone in Takatāpui and Rainbow communities. We believe our many different lived experiences are best served by listening to each other, especially to those who do not always get to speak. Our research focuses on asking how we build Takatāpui and Rainbow communities without violence in Aotearoa New Zealand.
Aotearoa’s first Queer History Month |Pūmahara Ia Te Wā is an opportunity to reflect on how far we have come in Aotearoa. In July 2024, Hohou Te Rongo Kahukura re-releases our 2016 research, complete with a report card on the last eight years. Family, partner and sexual violence continue to violate and harm our communities, and these grades reflect our focus on safety for victim-survivors.
