Whether it’s at home, school, the workplace, or in government – New Zealand is a society that’s deeply committed to working toward gender equality.
Gender equality isn’t a new concept in New Zealand, being the first country in the world where women won the right to vote in 1893. This year, on the 19th of September 2023, we mark 130 years of universal women’s suffrage in Aotearoa New Zealand.
In Aotearoa New Zealand, the spirit of progressiveness and gender equality has been foundational for over a century. It’s a place that doesn’t just talk about equality – it’s something New Zealanders strive for and value.
