Ngā Kaitiaki Festival Guardians
Consent education
Marlborough, Tasman/Te Tau Ihu, Canterbury/Waitaha, Christchurch/Ōtautahi, West Coast/Te Tai Poutini, Southland/Murihiku, Dunedin/Ōtepoti

Our goal is to make the scene safer and facilitate humans being excellent to each other! To this end, we use the principles of Bystander Intervention to call out inappropriate or predatory behaviour where we see it. Our aim is to uphold the ethos of freely given, enthusiastic and informed consent from the party to the outside world - whether it's a hug, a heavy conversation or sexy times, asking for permission first is essential! Our volunteers are roaming the party in green vests and are always available for a chat if you experience or witness anything that feels off or uncomfortable :)
