Pink Shirt Day 2025

Mary Kedzlie —

Pink Shirt Day is next Friday May 16. Children can wear pink and bring a gold coin donation for the Mental Health Foundation.

It is a day about working together to stop bullying by celebrating diversity and promoting kindness and inclusiveness.

It’s about creating a community where all people feel safe, valued and respected.

Pink Shirt Day is the day Aotearoa comes together to take a stand against bullying.

The Mental Health Foundation of New Zealand (MHFNZ) has run the campaign since 2012, inspiring tangata to Kōrero Mai, Kōrero Atu, Mauri Tū, Mauri Ora – Speak Up, Stand Together, Stop Bullying!
