Women’s Outdoor Pursuits | Te Rōpū Wāhine Rēhia ā Taiao upholds the principles of the Treaty of Waitangi, Te Tiriti o Waitangi:

• self determination 
• partnership
• equity
• active protection - mana tangata, mana whenua

Leaders lead groups in a manner that WOPs members determine as being culturally safe.  Leaders are aware of cultural safety and aware of individuals’ rights to hold personal beliefs, values and goals. They are aware of their own values that could impact on WOPs members in relation to age, ethnicity, culture, beliefs, gender, sexual orientation and/or disability.
