Illustration for Human Rights Act 1993

You are protected when giving to charity. This Act does not apply to wills or deeds that help people who are protected from discrimination under Part 2. You are also protected when you follow the rules in these wills or deeds. Charitable benefits are gifts that help people for reasons that are kind and allowed by New Zealand law.
