Discussion of issues of importance
1) Do you think New Zealand should put in place "health passes" or "vaccination passports" to allow access to indoor events or hospitality to those who are vaccinated?
2) Should home wifi access and digital devices be provided to school students?
3) What are the challenges small and micro businesses face during lockdown? What could the government do to provide more support?
We are just coming through a long period of lockdown and starting to see a way through to a more "normal" way of life, but all of us know that restrictions may be needed again to prevent severe illness and deaths and to prevent our hospital systems from being overrun. Come and join this BPW Franklin meeting on Zoom where consideration will be given to what we've learnt during lockdown and share our thoughts on these questions as we look at the way forward. Giving particular thought to how some of these issues will affect women and girls and if you have stories to share that would be great! If together, we feel strongly one way or another on any of these issues, this may be the starting point for building a resolution to take to the next BPW NZ Conference.
INVITATION to ZOOM MEETING WEDNESDAY 6 OCTOBER 20217.15 FOR 7.30 START
