About Hei Ahuru Mōwai
Nau mai ki te āhuru mōwai, welcome to this safe space, created to safeguard against gambling harm. Hei āhuru mōwai encourages whānau to reconnect to te ao Māori by utilising traditional Māori knowledge and practices to keep themselves and their whānau safe.
It is becoming increasingly easier for whānau (from tamariki through to pakeke) to access online gambling. Online gambling sites use mechanisms to keep our whānau coming back – they are available 24/7, they encourage users to play fast, there are next to no ways of protecting underage users, they use tools that are even more addictive, they lure people in on ‘free’ gambling sites, they even use tokens that hide the fact that real money is being spent.
It is important now more than ever that we stay vigilant online, have korero with our whanau, our tamariki, rangatahi, and kaumatua about their online activities. We can work together to create safer spaces online, and support ourselves and each other to keep safe when things pop up.
By disconnecting to our devices, we can reconnect to ourselves, through tikanga, karakia, and whanaungatanga.
