Iranian Community of New Zealand
Building connection, advocacy, and cultural solidarity for Iranians across New Zealand.
who we are
The Iranian Community of New Zealand (IranCNZ) is a community initiative based in New Zealand, dedicated to supporting both the Iranian community living in New Zealand and the people of Iran in their pursuit of human rights, freedom and democracy. Founded on the principles of unity, compassion, and peaceful advocacy, IranCNZ aims to create a strong and connected community that stands together in support of shared values and a better future for Iran.
Our mission is to bring the Iranian community in New Zealand closer together while amplifying the voices of the Iranian people. Through cultural engagement, public awareness, advocacy, and community events, we seek to build understanding among New Zealanders about the realities faced by people in Iran and the aspirations of millions who seek freedom and democratic change. We believe that every voice matters and that collective action can create meaningful impact.
