Laws around protest in Aotearoa

In New Zealand, you have the right to protest because of a few important freedoms that are protected by law:

Freedom of Association: This means you have the right to group together and organise things with other people. For example, you can join clubs or groups at school or in your community.
Freedom of Peaceful Assembly: This means you can gather together with others to protest or support something you care about, as long as it’s peaceful. Think of it like joining a peaceful march or rally to support a cause you believe in.
Freedom of Expression: This means you have the right to speak up and share your opinions. Whether it's talking about your favorite book or saying what you think about a new rule at school, you have the right to express your thoughts.

These freedoms make sure you can join with others, protest peacefully, and speak out about what matters to you.
