To Be Who I am / Kia noho au ki tōku anō ao

To Be Who I am /Kia noho au ki tōku anō ao the report of the Inquiry into Discrimination Experienced by Transgender People has now been published. In 2006 the Human Rights Commission launched the world’s first inquiry by a national human rights institution into discrimination experienced by transgender people. The focus was on three areas: experiences of discrimination, access to health services, and barriers to legal recognition of gender status. The report recommends four areas which need immediate attention. To read this report, please click here. For further information about the inquiry and consultation process please click here.

Kia noho au ki tōku anō ao

I te tau 2006 I whakarewahia e te Kāhui Tika Tangata te uiuitanga tuatahi o te ao katoa nā tētahi whakahaere tika tangata ā te motu mō te aukati e pāngia ana e ngā tāngata whakawhiti ira.  E toru ngā wāhi I arohia atu e te Uiuinga Taitamatane, Taitamawahine hoki: ko ngā whai wahitanga ki nga aukatitanga, te urutanga ki ngā ratonga hauora, me ngā āraitanga mai ki te whakaaetanga o te mana whakawā tāne, wahine, hua atu.
