When Rainbow communities are visible, they can represent themselves.

Trans and gender diverse people often experience disconnection from their whānau and loved ones. Lots of young people mention they are couch surfing or not welcome at home.

That is why Neo Kenny from InsideOUT and Euan Graham from Zeal Wellington use data to connect rainbow youth with their community, in a supportive space where they can be their full selves. It is all about making space for shared experiences, where there is a family feeling outside of their own homes.

For the first time, the 2023 Census will ask questions about things like sexuality, gender, and sex characteristics. This will help Rainbow communities feel seen and heard, and will help rainbow support services like Zeal Wellington and InsideOUT reach the right people.
