Christchurch attack survivors offered new zealand residency

In the aftermath of the Christchurch mosque attacks in March 2019, the New Zealand government announced that it would offer residency to the survivors of the attacks who were not already New Zealand citizens or residents.

The offer was made by the New Zealand Prime Minister, Jacinda Ardern, in a speech to the New Zealand Parliament on March 27, 2019. Ardern said that the government wanted to provide a sense of security and stability to the survivors, and that residency would allow them to rebuild their lives in New Zealand.

The offer was extended to all survivors who were not already New Zealand citizens or residents, including those who were injured in the attacks, as well as the families of those who were killed. The government also offered support and assistance to help the survivors and their families to rebuild their lives.

The offer was widely welcomed by the Muslim community in New Zealand, and was seen as a symbol of the country's commitment to diversity and inclusion. It was also seen as a way to help to heal the wounds of the attacks and to promote reconciliation and unity.

In the months following the attacks, the New Zealand government worked to implement the offer, and many survivors and their families were granted residency. The government also provided ongoing support and assistance to help them to settle into their new lives in New Zealand.

Overall, the offer of residency to the survivors of the Christchurch mosque attacks was a significant gesture of support and solidarity, and was seen as a way to promote healing, reconciliation, and unity in the aftermath of the attacks.
