We honour trailblazers like Kate Sheppard, Meri Te Tai Mangak?hia, Georgina Beyer, and many more, whose courage helped make Aotearoa a leader in social change and equality for women.
Tomorrow, at the Women’s Day of Action on 20 September, across Aotearoa we continue their fight. To show this government that Aotearoa will not stand for their attack on women and working people. At NZCTU Te Kauae Kaimahi, we stand united with working w?hine across Aotearoa.
We also celebrate this year’s Kate Sheppard Memorial Award recipient, an incredible PhD student Katherine Ellis, whose work inspires us all.
132 years on, the fight for gender and workplace equality continues. Together, we keep pushing for a fairer, more inclusive Aotearoa.
