Yesterday, Labour released its “Rainbow manifesto”.
Labour would work to improve Rainbow health and ensure the health care system meets the needs of trans, intersex, and gender-diverse people.
Specific promises include:
[…] Schools would be encouraged to adopt the Ministry of Education’s sexuality education guidelines while teachers would be given professional development on understanding sexual orientation, gender diversity and variations of sex characteristics. […]
Hipkins said Labour would set up a separate part of our yearly refugee quota for Rainbow individuals. […]
Hipkins added Labour would provide regular and long-term funding for NGOs as they provide health and wellbeing support, host pride events, and build communities. […]
“Labour has relentlessly advocated for Rainbow communities in Government over the last six years,” Hipkins said.
