Rights Aotearoa
Rights Aotearoa is an organisation dedicated to promoting, defending, and upholding universal human rights.
About
- Promote human rights as the foundation of a just, inclusive, and democratic society.
- Defend human rights by advocating for stronger protections and challenging threats to fundamental freedoms.
- Educate the public on the causes and sociological basis of hate.
- Counter hate speech and hate crimes as human rights violations that silence marginalised voices and undermine equality.
- Advocate for legal and policy reforms that strengthen human rights protections, including modernising the New Zealand Human Rights Act (1993).
- Collaborate with professional organisations to ensure that human rights principles are embedded in their ethical standards.
- Take lawful action to challenge and de-platform hate speech.
- Educate the public on human rights, the impact of hate speech, and the importance of legal protections.
- Engage in limited lobbying (under 5% of our activities) to advocate for stronger human rights protections.
