Welcome to Whakarongo - the podcast representing the voices of thousands of tamariki and rangatahi in state care in Aotearoa. 

Last year, we marched to parliament calling on the government to uphold six promises relating to our basic rights, and this year we’re talking to the young people affected by those promises being broken.

Join host Sydney-anne Martin, as every week she korero’s with some of the young people who went to the beehive after living with broken promise after broken promise while growing up in care. 

Subscribe to ‘whakarongo’ the podcast on YouTube, Apple, Spotify or wherever you get your podcasts … and be a part of a movement that advocates for change, one story at a time. 

If listening to this podcast brings up any issues for you, and you need to talk - we recommend reaching out to a trusted friend or adult.
