“It’s about providing a safe space for an open and honest conversation about healthier and sustainable alternatives for the menstrual cycle.” This is the story of Arohanui West, a Para Kore kaiārahi delivering Ikura Wānanga online. The wānanga explores the impacts of colonisation on our relationship with ikura, celebrates traditional Māori practices, and inspires attendees to embrace reusable options—reconnecting with te taiao and transforming attitudes toward menstruation across generations.
