Participants in the Taku Manawa Manahauā programme have lived
experience of disability. They delivered workshops and advocacy on
topics such as disability rights, accessibility and abuse of disabled people.
Participants in the Taku Manawa ki Manukau programme (South
Auckland) have a focus on children and young people and they led
activities in schools, education providers and at youth hui.
Over the year, 39 human rights activities were undertaken, meeting the
quantity aspect of the performance standard of 35 such activities.
Two case studies demonstrated that Taku Manawa activities had
increased capability within communities to protect and promote human
rights meeting the performance standard. The case studies included
workshops at an alternative education provider where ‘at-risk’ young
people were filmed performing a hip hop rap they had written about
their human rights; and workshops for people with learning disabilities
at a residential day services provider focussing on the right to accessible
information and support. The case studies were a new performance
measure so no trend data is available.
Other Taku Manawa networks around the country (Kirikiriroa, Tai Tokerau
and Murihiku) continued to deliver human rights activities with over 20
separate events taking place during 2013–14. One particularly notable
activity was the development of a submission to the UN Human Rights
Council’s second review of New Zealand’s human rights record (the
Universal Periodic Review). This led to an invitation for a Kirikiriroa
network representative to attend and to speak at a Human Rights Council
information session in Geneva.
