Safety

Women’s March Aotearoa New Zealand promotes women’s safety as one its key issues.

Violence against women continues to serve as a public epidemic within New Zealand, as 1 out of 3 women will experience a form of intimate partner violence or sexual assault in their lifetime.

We recognise that every woman has the right to feel secure within their home and community.

We advocate for policy and legal reform, increased violence prevention education, and the security of survivor services to eliminate violence against women.

Health

Health

Healthcare is the foundation of women’s well-being and economic stability. We advocate for access to affordable and inclusive women’s healthcare regardless of nationality, age, race or ethnicity, religion, sexual orientation, gender expression or disability.

Economics

Women are powerful drivers of economic growth, and their economic empowerment and security benefits all communities. We support women’s full and equal access and participation in local, national, and global economic systems.

Representation

Women are under-represented in leadership, adversely affecting our collective health, safety, and economic security. We seek fair and just representation of women locally, nationally and internationally.
