I get it. [00:00:30] [00:01:00] [00:01:30] Need a [00:02:00] or, uh welcome, everyone. Um, we are about to have a few speeches. Uh, right now and I would like to also call on, uh, my co-host [00:02:30] for tonight, uh, Tony to to come and join me. My name is Kevin. I'm a member of which is this group here, and I'm a member of all sorts of different groups. But tonight, uh, my role is is basically to to open our which we have done with a a song tonight for and, uh, to briefly also pay our respects to the building in which we're in to the or the the [00:03:00] of, uh, this And, uh, but more importantly to you, And also, uh, to also remember those who are not here. Uh, because that's also an important acknowledgement that we have No, uh, my name is Tony Nightingale, and I'm the chair of Rainbow Wellington, and we are delighted that [00:03:30] you have honoured us with your presence. This is a wonderful feeling in this audience. We have a large representation of the LGBTI a B plus communities here. It's a long acronym. Um, and it's fitting and appropriate that we're here to learn more about and to meet the representatives tonight. [00:04:00] And I went on the website. And for those of you who think that Elga is a bit of a contraction, you're right. It is. It's the International Lesbian, Gay, bisexual, transgender and intersex Association. So they've cracked the slightly shorter acronym. Um, we have a lot of leaders from our communities here today, and I would like to say that we're honoured by everyone of your presence. Um and [00:04:30] I'm going to miss some out. But I just like to identify a few, um, in particular Dame Margaret Sparrow, whose involvement in sexual health and sexual identity and gender identity over a lifetime career has greatly enhanced and supported our communities. I'd also like to mention Georgina briefly, but I know that's going [00:05:00] to be a longer introduction. But just to acknowledge your presence and say how wonderfully well, you look, um, I'd also like to mention who is our Oceana representative on. And of course, our two international guests for whom I'm not doing the main introduction. But just to say at this point, we've got the, um the I have to get the titles right. The cose [00:05:30] General Helen Ken Kennedy and the executive director. Um, welcome. We're very pleased to have you here. We're very pleased to meet you. We're very pleased to hear from you. Uh, and so [00:06:00] with the other head I put on which is the lesbian and gay Archives of New Zealand. Uh, trust. I also would like to acknowledge the presence of, uh, Tim Barnett, who is here. Welcome, Tim. Uh, also to Nicole Wallace. Uh, who's here? Um, and, uh, other, uh, people, particularly those that have come from the, uh, German embassy. Welcome, Tim. [00:06:30] Uh, from the, uh, Netherlands, Uh, is here, uh, and also from the Chilean Embassy. Um, Fernanda, that's the second name because I couldn't pronounce the first name. She's here. It's wonderful to see, um, the support coming from the international community and there are those people who are not able to be here, which we also acknowledge. So, for example, um, Grant Robertson, um, [00:07:00] the, uh, mayor, uh, could not make it today. Uh, there were also Fran just at the last minute was not able to to attend tonight. She dearly wanted to attend Fran, who was a very important, um uh, instigator and mover and driver. Um, her words were this is a groundbreaking, um, event that's going to happen in New Zealand. And I agree the, um So, [00:07:30] uh, those are particularly people that were not able to make make it tonight. Um, Chris Bishop. He was unable to make it. Uh, Jan Loki was also unable to make it, But Jan hosted, uh, us today this morning. And, um, I just want to, uh, to say thank you to our very special guests that are here today. Also, uh, I can see Carl standing near our Pacifica. Uh, here. [00:08:00] Welcome, Carl. And it's great to see such a representation of the community here. No, on that note, I'd like to, uh, introduce our next speaker, who is, uh, has the task of also introducing other other speakers. But of course, we all know Georgina is, uh, is, uh, one of our most well known international [00:08:30] representatives of our community worldwide. She's, uh, and for very good reason. Uh, I won't go into that today, but, uh, it's our honour and privilege to have you here tonight. Georgina. I know my and, uh, if you wouldn't mind welcoming our guest mhm to [00:09:00] this wonderful launch event this evening for something amazing that's going to occur next year. The World Conference will convene in Wellington on the 18th to the 22nd of March in 2019 at the Michael Fowler Centre. Uh, this conference is expected to bring up to 500 representatives of lesbian, gay, bisexual, trans and intersex civil organisations as advocates for the LGBTI human rights around the world. To meet and share their experience [00:09:30] and best practises, strategize, build alliances and partnerships and to elect their representatives, Elga will celebrate several significant milestones at the 2019 World Conference, the 40th anniversary of Elga World, the 50th anniversary of Stonewall demonstrations and the first World conference to be held in the Oceania region and we're hosting it. [00:10:00] The host consists of Trust, Rainbow Youth and the Intersex Trust of a New Zealand organisations who have a long history of working together about issues of diverse gender, sex and sexuality, including and other indigenous forms. These three organisations agreed to host the World Conference as an opportunity for their communities to experience this international LGBTI [00:10:30] forum. Elga is a world federation of national and local organisations dedicated to achieving equal rights for lesbian, gay, bisexual Trans and in sex people. It speaks and lobbies and international fora on behalf of more than 1200 member organisations from 132 countries based in six regions. Pan Africa, Elga, Elga, Asia, Elga, Europe Lack, That's Latin and American, [00:11:00] Caribbean, North America and Oceania, established in 1978 enjoys consultative status in the UN ECOSOC Council and L A represents LGBTI society within the United Nations and other international organisations. So it is a powerful and much needed organisation to connect us all internationally. It is my pleasure and privilege to welcome, [00:11:30] um, three of our international guests who are here with us this evening. The first I would like to introduce you to Helen Kennedy, a woman I have known for some time who kindly invited me to Canada some years ago, um, to go to the, um a gals annual fund raising dinner that they held in Toronto, wasn't it? Yes, Helen Kennedy became a G's executive director in 2007. She joined the organisation [00:12:00] with 22 years of experience in politics both as an elected city councillor and a political staffer. She is a founding member of Canadians for equal marriage, widely regarded as the most influential public policy lobbying campaign in Canadian history, which ultimately resulted in Canada being one of the first countries in the world to legalise same sex marriage. Helen's work includes the Climate Survey on homophobia and Transphobia in Canadian Schools, [00:12:30] the first national survey of its kind in Canada and provides critical findings on bullying to schools, educators and governments. She has delivered training to immigration, refugee adjudicators and police services across Canada and the Balkans. At the invitation of the US Department of Defence, Helen consulted with senior Pentagon officials in Washington on the US military's don't ask, don't tell policy. She is co secretary general of El [00:13:00] World. Helen is also a recipient of the Queen's Diamond Jubilee Medal for community Service and activism. Uh, could you please give a warm welcome to Helen Kennedy? I really need to change my Wikipedia bio and make it a lot shorter. Thank you, Georgina. Um, as Georgina mentioned, um, we had [00:13:30] the privilege of having Georgina in Toronto a number of years ago at an event we had, and I can't tell you how. Um moved. We were that she actually a we could track her down and B that she actually came because it was a huge moment of significance for us to have Georgina in Canada because at the time we did not have gender identity or gender expression included in our Canadian Human Rights Act. So Trans people technically were not protected. And so having [00:14:00] someone of Georgina's stature come and be willing and so open to present in Canada around some of the issues and also speak so openly and freely about her own journey had a huge impact on everybody who was there. So I want to, uh for me, it's an honour because I'm a massive fan of yours and have been for a very long time. But I want to acknowledge also the many gifts that New Zealand uh brings to our global movement, whether it be Manny Mitchell [00:14:30] or the powerhouse Elizabeth or Kevin. There's so many gifts, um, and activists and great from New Zealand, who are pushing the boundaries for the LGBTI movement globally. So I think we certainly as an as a movement and L A as a a federation want to acknowledge the contribution of the queer community in New Zealand, but also the broader allied community In terms of what [00:15:00] you bring to the conversation. I also want to acknowledge, um that we do also have the support of the Canadian consulate here this evening, which is wonderful to see. I'm very proud of the Canadian government. I'm based in Canada and obviously everybody thinks, you know, all the gay guys love our prime minister. I think he's an absolute sex God. Um, personally, I think his wife, Sophie, is a lot more attractive, but and also because Canada is a bilingual country, French and English. I want to take the, [00:15:30] um I want to be so bold as all to acknowledge. Our our representative from the French Embassy from France is also here as well, but also for us. You know, it's an incredible privilege for LGA to have its conference celebrating its 40th anniversary. In a country like New Zealand, the richness of your culture cannot be understated. And that is something that I and my family and I know Andre and Natasha, who's also here from, [00:16:00] have had the privilege to experience. I've experienced it twice now, um, but have had the experience to had the privilege to experience this warmth and hospitality and deep Maori culture that is present in the meetings that we've had and in in the welcome that we have received from everybody, whether it be from the mayor's office, right through to the MP S today, uh, to the host, um, hosting agencies that have just welcomed us in open arms. And [00:16:30] I want the global movement people who are still living in countries that criminalise who we are to experience what we have experienced here this week next March. So I'm I'm very very, um um, what's the word? You know, as an as a big old lesbian butch, I don't get emotional very often, but I, I have to say, there is. There's something very, um, warm. I I'm [00:17:00] trying to find an emotion and express it right, But there there's just an incredible bond that we feel when we gather as communities and and recognise each other's strengths and also engage in conversation that allow us to be free and to be safe in a country that accepts who we are as people. So I can't thank you enough. I can't wait to come back next March and I can't wait to showcase New Zealand and Oceania to the broader family. [00:17:30] So thank you very, very much. The next of our international visitors today I would like to introduce is Andre Duple. He is L G's executive director formerly at Elga. Uh, Andre was the head of UN programme and Advocacy assisting LGBTI organisations from around the world to engage with the various [00:18:00] facets of the United Nations system. Prior to he worked on the human rights compliance of private military contractors in conflict zones and as a human rights officer in special procedures at the UN Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights. Andre is from South Africa and is an English solicitor with experience in the corporate and financial services sectors. Uh, he grew up in Zambia, the UK and India studied law at Cambridge [00:18:30] University and University College of London and has worked in mainland China in Hong Kong, London and is currently based in Geneva, Switzerland. Ladies and gentlemen, a warm welcome please for Andre dui. I think I also need to get my Wikipedia or Google search bio update a little bit there, but, um, I just wanted to express, uh, just to follow on. From what [00:19:00] Helen has said, the warm, warm welcome that we have felt since we've been here has been absolutely phenomenal. Um, and as Helen has said, this is something which I think is so exciting for people from around the world, um, to experience when they come here in March. I really appreciated the song at the beginning and thank you, Kevin, for your welcoming words where we acknowledged the many people in this room right here who I'm not going to go and repeat now. But we are each of us standing here amongst giants of the community [00:19:30] and people who have influenced and changed lives here and many places around the world. The other thing, of course, which we acknowledged at the beginning was the people who are not here. And those are people who physically can't be here because of other engagements. But I think we also know there are the people here who can't be here for very sad reasons. Um, my privilege, my work on a day to day basis is working with LGBTI defenders from around the world. There are people who can't get to events like this for security issues. As [00:20:00] I'm on my way here this evening, I'm dealing with a lesbian activist in El Salvador who is being harassed by street gangs. Um, where she lives. She and her partner are considering fleeing the country because it is unsafe to live there. And I just wanted to take this moment even as we celebrate rainbows and glitter for all that's going to be this fabulous moment next year, pausing to understand the reason why we do this work. So I'm remembering, um, my friend, my [00:20:30] colleague Andrea, who's going through that right now? Um, I'm also as I'm heading over here this evening. I'm looking at the the the news coming from Ghana, where there is potentially up to 400 people who've been, uh, uh, voluntarily going into conversion camps. Um, over the last few years, the the news is coming out. Um, and for all the complicated reasons related to, um, misappropriation of religion, um, [00:21:00] with minors. And we understand that these are the issues that we face. So I don't want to put any dampener on here, but I think the reason why we work why we stand here is? Yes, because we are fabulous. Yes, we are fabulously queer and amazing. But we also do it because we continually have to face violence and discrimination on a daily basis. Whether that's in El Salvador, whether that's in Ghana. And I know what happens even in this fabulous country here as well. [00:21:30] The struggle is not over here, it continues. But what I can say is that the welcome that you have given today this week I know will be amplified in March when activists from every corner of this planet are going to be here. And we are going to be sitting and we are going to be celebrating. And we are going to be discussing and strategizing and finding ways to have conversations to help people. Um, who can't be here, Um, and [00:22:00] who won't be there? Um, all the people who can't, um we will come together to make sure that somehow that can that can't can become a can. Um, so thank you again for the welcome this evening. Um, and I'll head over. Thank you last by, but certainly by no means the least of our international visitors who are with us this evening. is Natalia [00:22:30] Volkova. Please excuse me if I didn't pronounce that correctly. She is an internationally acclaimed CFO. And I'm assuming that's chief financial officer, uh, currently working at as director of finance and support services tasked to build financial processes and controls which will ensure the most effective use of the donors funds and to lead the board, uh, regional officers and staff in various financial and operational matters. Prior [00:23:00] to she worked as, uh, CFO of Swiss Russian Nanotechnology startup. And as the head of planning department, uh, of KFC France. Is that the KFC We assume it is? I presume so. Um, Natalia is a Russian Swiss and a qualified management accountant, uh, from, uh with an experience in the nonprofit consumer goods, nanotechnology and consulting sectors globally. [00:23:30] She has lived and worked in Russia, UK, France and Switzerland, studied finance and accounting in London School of Economics and holds an MB a degree from I MD. She is experienced in yoga practitioner and is interested in sharing innovative ideas in area of financial management of the international non-profit organisations. A warm welcome, please for Natalia. Oh, [00:24:00] Natalia has kindly declined to speak, which gives me a bit more time to give you an update. Um, um it essentially is, uh, the conclusion of what I have to say today. But as you may or may not be aware, I had an extraordinary invitation, uh, to address the Oxford Union. I will be leaving for there on the 20th of October, and I will speak probably on the 23rd of October over [00:24:30] there. But soon after, I made a Q and a appearance, Uh, not so long ago, Cambridge University got on to the bloody bandwagon, and I'll be going there as well. And although I haven't organised anything yet and I I will be travelling actually with Julian Cook, who's, uh, with Auckland Pride. Um, who's going to accompany me primarily as my PA, I think because I might need it while I'm over there. Um, I'm gonna be [00:25:00] offering myself particularly to a train or a trans organisation. I don't know who yet, Um uh, in London because that's where I'm gonna be based, uh, to use me as a fundraiser. Um, while I'm there, uh, and just to highlight trends in that area, But I'm also open to doing stuff for the AIDS foundation over there or other rainbow organisations. Honey, make use of me while I'm there. You might as well. It is a brilliant platform platform, not just for New Zealand, because there is an element of national pride [00:25:30] given our history at Oxford Unit, uh, unity with, um David Long. I can smell uranium on your breath, Um, and all of that. But also the right honourable Helen Clark. And of course, more recently, Dane Catherine Healey, who has been there. So I would be the fourth New Zealander to address the Oxford Union. And, um, I'm may be quite likely that I might be the first trans to address the Oxford Union. Cambridge has had a string of trends, including Caitlyn Jenner. So, you know, I'm [00:26:00] I'm down the list a bit. Obviously it provides a global platform. Their YouTube channel alone has up to 60 million viewers. And of course, it goes much further than that through, uh, social media and stuff. So I am gonna have to be very careful about what I talk about other than my own life experience, which is primarily what they want to know, particularly my experience on on politics and my perspective and view on it and my time in there. But also, how does [00:26:30] a, um, slapper from Vivian Street make it to somewhere like parliament? Uh, which may resonate with more than just me from around the world. Um, I'm not the only one that started out selling my you know what to buy my You know what, And, um, seems ironic now, doesn't it? But, um, so it's gonna be very important. And I am gonna be careful. I want to promote what our country alone has achieved in, uh, gay rights. [00:27:00] I know there is more to do and more to go, but the foundation upon which we have been able to leverage ourselves in past 30 de um, 30 decades. Well, perhaps, uh, certainly, uh, the last 30 odd years, um, has been amazing. And really, it is a reflection of our country, and I know it's difficult sometimes, and there are still some difficult hurdles to jump as far as bringing our public and our our country people on board, uh, with some of the movement we want to make in law. [00:27:30] But more importantly, I think sometimes attitudinally, um uh to us and that is where we win. And I hope that anything I might have done my small contribution, uh, to breaking some political glass ceilings, at least. And it has been inspiration, inspiration for other people around the world. But it's a reflection of us, huh? It's a reflection of all of us and everything we've done in our lives and those who have gone before us, whose shoulders I stand upon, uh, to be able to have done what [00:28:00] I have done. And now it is incumbent upon me in my sort of semi retirement. I was almost dead about a year or two ago, but sorry I'm back and I'm dangerous. Well, so that that that's what happens when I have a gay kidney within me. Now that was so kindly given to me from one of our community, a dear friend of mine Grant pits, who happens to live in Carterton. And so I did keep it in the family somewhat, [00:28:30] or we did you know, as far as that's concerned, Uh, we have a lot to share all of us in our experience. I'm sure you'll be able to share that next year during this conference and in fact, you'll be demanded to share it because there are others, as has been mentioned, who struggle around the world in situations we could barely imagine. And I'm going to be making a few points about that. In my Oxford debate. I'm gonna make a serve at Russia. I'm gonna make a serve at some of those African countries that still have death sentences. [00:29:00] I might give a serve to this conversion therapy business. It's outrageous. I mean, that kind of thing. And it occurs here in this country. And, um although we're trying to jump on it and stamp it out, it'll happen. Fly and out of the way. As I'm sure it does, It simply defies all of our human rights. And that kind of thing happens anyhow enough for me because the conference is next year. And um uh uh [00:29:30] fuck called, uh so [00:30:00] Kilda, I'm Elizabeth not flash enough to have a Wikipedia page. What's up with that? And, uh, I lived back in Gisborne, but I was 20 years in Wellington, and when I come home, I come to Wellington very, very often. And when I'm in a room amongst all of you, then I know that this is my second home. And I do know that so many of you here are my And some of the people I love most in the world are in this room. And so I'm thankful to [00:30:30] be here. I, uh uh to reinforce all the welcome to all of you. So all of those and our glorious ways of being in this world we welcome you. We welcome you. As as I said, the three of our groups that work together to do this we felt that any single one of us was never going to be enough. We didn't [00:31:00] have the reach, but we thought that we wanted to model the way that we actually work in Wellington. The way we work in a And so I want to just go over for you. Some things about when we the very first we had When we got together, we started talking amongst ourselves. Should we do this? Shall we do this? We sat down and said, What are our values? And I want to share those with you because in a way, when we hope to model these things across the world, we want to make sure that this is really how our people think This one is about that each of us as individuals, as organisations [00:31:30] We stand in our own man. We have our own autonomy and we create the spaces where we work together, uh, to your wait serious, No brainer. But we characterised it as decolonizing, sexuality and gender. It's that we respect from all these other people who are going to come to us from around the world. Their cultural practises, their cultural terms, their ways of being in the world and what we can do when they come to this space to know that they are welcome, they are honoured. Uh, we saw that as [00:32:00] respecting intergenerational roles and responsibilities, So it was really key for us to ensure that each of us is from our young people. Up to our elders had a role in this space in the lead up to and throughout the conference. And I just want to acknowledge our youth leaders who are in this space right now, uh, you know, massive, massive respect and for you all, Uh, but I just want to acknowledge all the work that you do and you lead our community and many of the issues [00:32:30] that are facing our people because, as Andre alluded to, we're gonna have much to show off at this conference and we will do that. We say we have achieved this, this and that. But we know from the UN submission we just sent out in the UP was done, that there are still major issues impacting around access to health care, trans health, uh, violence still against young people. The fact that we think of, oh, lesbians and gays, it's been out and around for a very long time. 30 years, homosexual law reform. There's still young people being kicked out of the house today because [00:33:00] they're coming out to their parents. So we have to remain vigilant. And this is an opportunity to share all the things that we are proud of and to learn from people from around the world who are facing the same journey as us, and that we together will look at how we can work together for the world. But very much, I think, from an indigenous point of view, we want to model a way of holding this conference and sharing what we do and show how we integrate things weave things together in a way that I have to say I've never seen [00:33:30] in all the international conferences I've attended next one. That's our extended relationships. So we start from This is our our key group of people that we're born into, that we choose as our main love and support. And then it's all our extended relationships out from there. That's into all our embassies. It's into our philanthropic and funders. It's into government. It's all the ways that we work together, absolutely key that we will look after our guests. [00:34:00] When they come here, they will feel safe. They will feel heard. They will be seen and they will be valued. We will look after them. We will have the best vegan and vegetarian food that they have ever seen. Uh, we will that regardless of ability or disability, they will know that they are safe and they are treated in this place. And I believe Wellington will do that unbelievably, Uh and we intend to have a lot of fun. We have when we talk to people around the world and say, Come to Wellington, [00:34:30] come to a we promise you fun I got no doubt we will bring it, and I want to special out to the pride people who are going to be running a pride parade. We are turning it on for our guest. So last count, we taking all that into account, and that's that's guided us. It's guided us in our decision making and the way that we work. When we thought about the conference itself, uh, and we thought about what our key themes were, and then I designed the logo [00:35:00] that's attached to the conference based on that. So number one and then the logo Imagine there's this beautiful logo. Uh, it is a waka. It's a two hold. It represents a two hold waka with two sails on it and a on the front. So on this on the sales is the design from the It's that stepped design represents so that again honouring all of our histories, the process, the impact [00:35:30] of colonisation that's colonisation that's had on all of our communities. And we are still feeling the impact today, but also all of the awesome histories, all of the incredible places that we have come from and all the people around the world. Who? Oh, ok, asking you, uh So, yes, all those histories we acknowledge all of that and that because we know that brings awesomeness, It also brings trauma. And we want to be a space where we can create healing and, uh, support for those things, [00:36:00] the pathway of the waka. We're acknowledging that this is an effort we're used to travelling a long way to get anywhere. Everyone else isn't so used to killing to us. And so we're acknowledging the journeys, the actual physical journeys as well as the cultural and historical spiritual journeys people have taken physically to get here. And we want to honour that, uh, effort. We have warned to say, Don't come on the day or even the day before You will be asleep by lunch time [00:36:30] and the next one is and it's represented on the front of the WAKA, and that's referencing the baskets of knowledge and absolutely about the shills, the skills and experience and knowledge that will be bought that we will bring to share. And we're going to learn it's gonna be so crazy. Awesome. Last one and that's represented. We take it from the, um the and that's represented on the basis of the WAKA. And that's about our growth. [00:37:00] It's our movement. It's OK. Great. We've all got here. And what? Where are we going from here? What have we learned? What are the actions? What are the strategies? What's gonna happen from this point? What are the incredible relationships and hook ups are gonna happen and what's gonna just keep on continuing through the work of but actually all of the member organisations who will come to this place? So we have promised that we'll have awesome volunteers we have promised today I said I want to, uh, take over running all the facilitation of the [00:37:30] in every workshop. So Sounds like something I would say, Uh, so that most people in this room just be aware that I will be contacting you about that. Uh, but yes. So finally, uh, I believe I'm the last speaker wrapping this all up. Welcome. Thank you all for coming. Uh, I guess this is a launch. Do we have launch language? Do you say I have to clear [00:38:00] Fuck you? No, this is an awesome evening that when we bring all of our all of our spirit all of our hope, All of our energy, all of our excitement, all of our love, all of our power and this space. And we launch this whole event from this point and welcome you all back here in March. [00:38:30] So Tony and I, on behalf of Lake Ends and Rainbow Wellington, would like to thank you all for coming tonight. We are looking forward to involvement, uh, going forward to the conference next year. I'm very certain that, uh, our visitors, uh, are impressed, and they're going to go away and tell the world Yes, Come along to to Wellington in March 2019.
