๐Ÿ™…โ€โ™€๏ธ Itโ€™s Not OK - November 1st to 30th ๐Ÿ™…โ€โ™‚๏ธ

The Team from Neighbourhood Support New Zealand

Creating safer communities means ensuring that no one lives in fear of harm on the streets or in their own home. For the month of November, we want to raise awareness and work together to end all forms of violence including family harm, elder and child abuse, sexual assault, gang violence, and more. These victimisations affect us all and can have lasting effects that spill into our everyday lives including at work and school.

To do your part this month, perhaps consider supporting a womenโ€™s refuge or work with Police in your area to host an info night on how to identify elder or child abuse in your community. This monthโ€™s campaign also coincides with White Ribbon Day on 25 November which is an internationally celebrated day that aims to prevent violence towards women.

Let us know how youโ€™re spreading the โ€˜Itโ€™s Not OKโ€™ message in your home or in your community by tagging us in your posts + using the following hashtag so we can see what you get up to:

Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.

This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldnโ€™t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
.
Do you think NZ should follow suit? Vote in our poll and share your thoughts below.
