For women, who’s in government matters and we must vote to see change
The election is just around the corner and Te Kaunihera Wāhine o Aotearoa National Council of Women of New Zealand (NCWNZ) has a clear message: it matters who’s in government – and that means your vote matters. It especially matters for women, for other marginalised groups, and for future generations.
When we elect the next Government, it will have the power to pass legislation, implement policy, and direct funding to the benefit of the things it cares about and the detriment of the things it doesn’t. During its term, the current government has clearly shown that it doesn’t prioritise the rights and needs of all New Zealanders, especially women. And in a few short years the catastrophic changes it has made will begin to have an intergenerational impact.
