What we do

Transgender support in New Zealand

Gender Minorities Aotearoa is a nationwide transgender organisation. It is run by and for transgender people; including binary and non-binary, intersex, and irawhiti takatāpui.

We support transgender people of all ages, cultures, and backgrounds, and provide one-to-one peer support and information nationwide.

Our vision

Our vision is for all takatāpui, transgender, and intersex people to be empowered by a full range of choices across all aspects of their lives, and to be able to participate fully in society.

Our framework

We operate within the kaupapa Māori public health framework Te Pae Māhutonga, and The Ottawa Charter (1986). Our aim is to facilitate health and well-being for transgender populations, as defined by The World Health Organisation. This includes complete physical, mental, emotional, spiritual, and social well-being.
