GLBTI Policy has worked in conjunction with Whitireia
Community Law Centre to produce an online legal resource for lesbian,
gay, bisexual, queer, takataapui, fa'afafine, transsexual,
transgender and intersex people (and anyone else who doesn't fit into
heterosexual or gender norms!).
The resource is housed on the Community Law Centre website - currently
on its front page at
http://www.communitylaw.org.nz/. You will see that the resource
covers a broad range of legislation and drills down into some of the
areas that are more specific to the target audience, such as legal
parenting and guardianship issues, and legal identity documents.
The resource will be updated to incorporate changes to legislation and
hopefully new areas will be developed. It would be great to receive
your feedback to know what you find useful and where you would like to
see further work. Please send all content feedback to the email address
in the resource introduction, ie commlaw@wnc.quik.co.nz.
