A group of students organising a protest against rape culture received online threats of violence forcing them to change their protest location. The protests follow an incident involving facebook comments from students about having sex with drunk and unconscious girls. The protests are focused on the broader issue of normalisation of rape culture in New Zealand, and will take place on Monday where the students will march through Civic Square in Wellington. 95bFM reporter, Tess Barnett, spoke to Korowai Tumanako clinician, Russell Smith, who helped start a high school programme that teaches sex and consent, about the situation.
More than 30,000 people are protesting today for a better pay rise for teachers. Today is the first time primary and intermediate teachers are taking action in 24 years. There are dozens of protests taking place across the country.
In Auckland the march started at 11am at Fort St and will end up at Aotea Square, with more than 2000 people turning up to stand next to the teachers in solidarity. The teachers union New Zealand Education Institute say they are protesting to fix the teaching crisis, and need better investment in education so there can be a teacher in every class.
The New zealand educational institute are after a 16 percent pay rise over the next two years, as well as more funds for a special education needs coordinator in every school. The offer the government proposed was a pay rise between 2.2 and 2.6 percent each year for three years and more time to work individually with children or plan and assess learning.
To find out more about this Darashpreet spoke to NZ educational institute lead negotiator Liam Rutherford about the pay rise and Karl Vasau, principal from Rowendale School in Manurewa to get a teacher's perspective on how schools are being affected.
