Overview

Women of the world, unite to make a difference! Being concerned about the state of the world we (Theresa Gattung, Barbara Gabler, Chris Woodwiss & Lindy Nelson) created worldwomen, a charitable trust and forum, for women to share knowledge, look at issues differently and question the status quo. Can we make a difference in New Zealand? Yes we can. We believe there is no country in the world too small to make a difference. In New Zealand women have always been very strong and influential. Originally it was Māori & Pākehā women who were fighting for women’s rights in New Zealand back in the 1800’s – now we are fortunate enough in New Zealand to have many other cultures also living here, bringing their perspective, and continuing the campaign for women’s rights. Our goal is to further enable and strengthen all women, encouraging collaboration for our common goals. In 2017 to 2018 we will be focusing our energies into these four key areas: To launch SheEO in New Zealand Pay Equity in New Zealand Supporting Cambodia Charitable Trust Supporting Dr Tererai Trent and her 5th Dream
