Report by Nielsen. New Zealand Human Rights Commission.
February 2021.
In 2020, the Human Rights Commission received numerous reports of discrimination and abuse during the COVID-19 pandemic. These complaints served as the catalyst for investigation into the prevalence, nature and pattern of racism and xenophobia in the COVID-19 context, attitudes and views relating to certain ethnic groups, reactions and responses to racism and xenophobia, and the impacts of racism and xenophobia on those who have experienced it.
This report concludes that discrimination has been pervasive during COVID-19, at least as high as pre-COVID, and significantly worse for Tangata Whenua, people of Chinese ethnicity and people of Asian descent.
