The Voices of Women
This International Women’s Day (IWD) you are invited to hear from an EPIC panel of wāhine who will share their insights into amplifying our voices in local government.
This year's IWD theme is #balanceforbetter so we’ll look at why we need to increase the number of women in elected roles and how we can support them.
We’ll discuss how each of us can encourage and support friends / whanau and our own communities to vote this year.
Finally, we’ll find out how we can influence better social and environmental outcomes for our communities.
Please register your attendance (through eventfinda or by emailing politicsinthetron@gmail.com).
Entry is by koha to help cover costs. Any additional proceeds will go towards Elect Women! a free practical workshop being held on May 4th to help Waikato women prepare their campaign for the October elections.
Great things happen when we collaborate so please tautoko our thanks to DV Bryant; Free FM; Go Eco; The Meteor and the YWCA for supporting this event.

Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?
The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.
This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
.
