Older Takatāpui and Rainbow people have lived through the enormous social and legal shifts of the last fifty
years, including managing grief for those they have lost. Our elders grew up when homosexuality was illegal,
HIV/AIDS was a death sentence, there were no protections against discrimination, and access to supports for
transitioning were non-existent.
While every older person is unique, this shared generational context means older Takatāpui and Rainbow
people experience unique risk and protective factors for elder abuse. (From the factsheet).
Information about the.Uplifting Takatāpui & Rainbow Elder Voices – Tukua kia tū takitahi ngā whetū o te rangi project.
This project’s name came from our early conversations with elder advisors. They asked us to draw attention to Elder Voices. Literally. They wanted to hear Takatāpui and Rainbow older people talking and felt the considerable differences
in elder experiences were best represented by hearing many voices. The desire to uplift the voices of diverse Takatāpui and Rainbow elders is also reflected in the whakataukī we have chosen: Tukua kia tū takitahi ngā whetū o te rangi – let each star stand out clearly and be seen!
