'Somewhere in between'

Gender Minorities Aotearoa campaigned in the 2010s and early 2020s for the Births, Deaths, Marriages, and Relationships Registration (BDMRR) Act to be changed to allow birth certificates to be more easily altered to reflect people’s identities. This poster was created to support that campaign.
