The REOSA Walk

The REOSA Walk is a 2,100km journey the length of New Zealand; undertaken by sisters Libby Taylor and Kate Hattaway to raise awareness about the negative ripple effects of sexual abuse.

Libby and Kate will start The REOSA Walk at Cape Reinga / Te Rerenga Wairua on 1st October 2022 and aim to reach Bluff by mid-November 2022. During their journey, Libby and Kate will be hosting 30 Supporters Walks throughout the country. If you would like to join a Supporters Walk, please visit REOSA’s website to learn more and register.

Your invaluable support, along with Libby and Kate’s desire to empower survivors of sexual abuse and create meaningful change in Aotearoa will ensure the sisters are able to fulfil REOSA’s mission. Thank you for your support; all donations – be it for a cup of coffee or a night’s accommodation – are greatly appreciated by Libby, Kate and the entire REOSA Team.

If you would like to keep up-to-date with Libby and Kate’s progress, please follow our Facebook and Instagram pages and, if you would like to learn more about REOSA, please visit our website.

With gratitude,

Ngā mihi nui,

Libby and Kate xo

REOSA Support Libby and Kate  30 January 2023

Ngā mihi nui ki a koe

Huge gratitude to you

The REOSA Team would like to thank you for all your support. Without you, the REOSA journey would not have been possible.

We set out to spread awareness around the ripple effects of sexual abuse in New Zealand, as well as create hope for survivors and let them know they are not alone. The impact we felt as we travelled down the country was huge. Some survivors felt save to disclose of their abuse for the very first time, and are now getting the help they need to reduce the effect of the ripples in their lives. Others have been able to take the next step on their healing journey, knowing that there is acceptance and understanding in their communities and support networks.

Your support and generosity has directly contributed in such a positive way for so many people, and for this, we cannot thank you enough!

Our Give A Little page will be closing on 1st February 2023. You can head over to our website and social media pages to keep up to date with REOSA.

Helen thank you so much for your donation and your words of encouragement. As we travelled throughout New Zealand REOSA certainly did raise awareness about the sexual abuse statistics and the ripple effects of this abuse, as well as help start many conversations that people had been unable to have before about sexual abuse. We so appreciate the support you have given us to do this. Thank you Libby, Kate and The REOSA Team
