What do they do?
This is a network rather than an organisation and run completely with volunteers. It is for New Zealanders – individuals, non-governmental and other organisations – to share information to pursue national and international progress in human rights
How can I get involved?
Check out the The Human Rights Film festival, a cinematic event celebrating extraordinary people striving for success and achievement amidst the hardest of circumstances and conditions.
Screenings run in Auckland, Wellington and Christchurch. If you live in one of those places, you can even get involved with organising the local screening. Just flick them an email at: festival@humanrightsfilmfest.net.nz
Join up! - The Human Rights network is free to join and has a lot of information about issues in NZ and abroad. When you join you will get email newsletters that share information on Human Rights focused news and events from a range of sources with an emphasis on local events. You will also be able to post your own events and news onto the site to be included in the e-news (2 weeks notice preferred).
Check out the website - it’s a good place to start for anyone interested in Human Rights and development as it offers a wide range of topics, issues, causes and opinions.
