After years of advocacy from Rainbow communities, the Conversion Practices Prohibition Legislation Act 2022 (CPPLA) was enacted. The CPPLA created new criminal offences for conversion practices and amended the Human Rights Act 1993 to make conversion practices unlawful in Aotearoa New Zealand.
The amendment allows Te Kāhui Tika Tangata Human Rights Commission to support the civil response of the CPPLA. This includes receiving complaints, providing a dispute resolution service, and referring complaints to the Human Rights Review Tribunal. The Commission was also tasked with education and prevention work in support of the new legislation.
This report captures the extensive collective learning the Commission gained from its role in implementing the civil response to the CPPLA. It also makes recommendations about how to support survivors of conversion practices and to prevent these practices from occurring - and concludes with advice from people with lived experience about the kind of support survivors need to heal form their experiences.
Further guidance is available in a hub of resources on conversion practices and how to support survivors including a directory of organisations that can help. (From the website). Record #9180
