There are no human rights problems in New Zealand, why do we need to bother?

Unfortunately, there are human rights issues in New Zealand: racism, child abuse, youth suicide, domestic violence – our children and young people need to be exposed to other ways of thinking and acting if they are to break the patterns of previous generations. Talking about these issues is not enough; they need to see those around them practising what they teach. Schools and centres have the power to make a difference in children and young people’s lives by teach and practising rights and responsibilities.
