It's important to have a ministry that can help communities deal with racism and prejudices. People need to be respected and valued as citizens of Aotearoa and the ministry helps with this. The ministry is the national voice for ethnic communities - this is most important given the level of racism in this country - personal and institutional racism. The ministry provides resources for ethnic communities to best negotiate the inequalities they experience and how to make change.
