Speakers Series: Equality & Non-discrimination

Te Kāhui Tika Tangata | NZ Human Rights Commission

Human rights standards including the UN Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples (UNDRIP) affirm the right of all to equality and non-discrimination. Yet in Aotearoa New Zealand today, Māori continue to experience entrenched inequalities across a range of areas, including: health, justice and education. 
In August this year, the UN Committee on Racial Discrimination will examine how these rights are protected in New Zealand. This provides an opportunity for the public to contribute and have a say on how well New Zealand is meeting those human rights obligations.     
On 14 June 2017 a panel of expert speakers will give their perspectives on ‘Indigenous Rights: Equality and Non-discrimination’. 
Speakers:

<LI>Dr Heather Came and Dr Huhana Hickey, AUT </LI>
<LI>Julia Whaipooti, JustSpeak</LI>
<LI>Pania Newton, SOUL (Save Our Unique Landscape)</LI>
<LI>Cinnamon Whitlock, CEO, Thrive Teen Parent Support Trust</LI>

When: Wednesday 14 June
