TOAH-NNEST are excited to bring to you our National Sexual Violence Conference, happening (after a few interruptions) in November 2022.
Our conference theme of Ka tūhonohono, ka anga whakamua – Coming together, moving forward is based around the well-known whakataukī. 

​

“Nāku te rourou nāu te rourou ka ora ai te iwi”. 
“With your basket and my basket, we will sustain everyone”. 
 
This whakataukī acknowledges that shared accountability within communities is important and emphasizes that we can achieve more working together than if we work alone.
 
The kaupapa of this conference is to whanaungatanga (build relationships), workshop, share knowledge and be informed from specialists in this sector.  It is hoped that this years’ Conference will provide a unique convergence of networking, learning, inspiring cultural practice, discussions, conversations, and increased knowledge and experience, alongside new and renewed connections. 

TOAH-NNEST is founded upon Te Tiriti o Waitangi, the belief that the mahi cannot be done alone and that we must work collaboratively to achieve the total elimination of mahi tūkino.
