Data empowers us

For a long time, ethnic communities in Aotearoa have struggled to find and access data to tell their stories and support their advocacy.

Oftentimes, this data is aggregated in a way that hides community experiences, with groups as diverse as African, Middle Eastern and Latin American communities lumped together.

Aotearoa Ethnic Community Figures presents data from the Ministry for Ethnic Communities that better reflects the lives and experiences of African, Asian, Latin American, Middle Eastern, and Continental European people.
