Before entering Parliament, I was a board member at the Nelson Women's and Children's Refuge. It is not the policy of Refuge to require a birth certificate to access the lifesaving services of Refuge. Our policy is inclusive of diversity. The Nelson Women's Refuge's diverse-needs policy states, and I'll read it, "The Refuge understands that gender identity can be non-binary and is open to providing services to cis wāhine, transgender, genderqueer, intersex, or people who choose to live with a more fluid gender identity." Furthermore, it states, "The Refuge respects the right for clients to choose not to disclose their sexual identity."
