Community Engagement Report for developing a National Action Plan Against Racism The Commission’s recommendations for the Plan Having listened carefully to the people who shared their views with us, Te Kāhui Tika Tangata, the Human Rights Commission (the Commission) makes the following high-level recommendations to Government to guide the development of the National Action Plan Against Racism (the Plan). These recommendations are informed by: • our engagement with communities • advice and feedback from an expert National Action Plan Against Racism Taskforce of Tangata Whenua and Tangata Tiriti • domestic and international human rights obligations • the Commission’s own research (see Appendix Two and Three) • the wider body of research available, including Maranga Mai!, Matike Mai Aotearoa, He Puapua, Ko tō tātou kāinga tēnei, and the STIR Briefing Paper. We follow the pou and pillar structure used throughout this report. Under each pou and pillar we outline a vision of how Tangata Whenua and Tangata Tiriti see a racism-free Aotearoa New Zealand. Recommendations in the Plan should be further developed in partnership with Tangata Whenua and through co-design with ethnic communities. While some of the work can be led by government, the reignition and strengthening of tino rangatiratanga can only be led by Tangata Whenua. New Zealand Human Rights Commission 81
