Rainbow is a term used to represent the LGBTQIA community (Lesbian Gay Bisexual Transsexual Queer Intersex and Asexual).

​

As Pasifika, we acknowledge that this term excludes our Pacific community of Fa’afafine (Samoan), Fakaleiti (Tongan), Whakawahine/Takatapui/Tangata ira tane (Maori), ‘Akava’ine (Cook Islands) Drodrolagi (Fijian) Mahu (Hawaiian) so we also use the term MVPFAFF+.

​

Rainbow Fale contributes to building supportive and safe environments for Pasifika rainbow young people. We equip and enable youth and young adults to achieve their goals; provide a platform for their voice, identify the issues and advocate for the elimination of stigma and discrimination.
