Maybe remove the second "Ruby" in (4). Does "marital status" cover "family status"? Otherwise I think it's very encompassing!

Suggested rewording:

Ensure that the Ruby community and events in New Zealand are a safe and welcoming space for all people, regardless of gender, gender expression, sexuality, marital status, religious belief, ethical belief, colour, race, ethnic or national origin, disability, age, political opinion, employment or family status.
