Civic & Social Organization - Wellington, Wellington, New Zealand
Gender Equal NZ is leading a national movement toward true gender equality for all New Zealanders. We want all New Zealanders to have the freedom to determine their own future – free of gender stereotypes and constraints. Where we once led in gender equality, New Zealand has now slipped to be ranked at 9th. In New Zealand there's a gap between what we think equality is and what actually happens.Discrimination can be more subtle than it once was. We see it in the everyday interactions we all face, with subtle gender inequality being revealed in attitudes and assumptions. For some, gender inequality is more obvious. For all of us, the job is not done. We need to shift our deep-seated attitudes and to highlight the real state of equality in our country. We are calling out inequalities in policy, society and the media that perpetuate an unequal status quo. We're calling on all New Zealanders to come together to help us make equality, reality. We are a movement with a rich and proud history. Our leading organisation, The National Council of Women emerged in 1896 after the successful campaign for women's suffrage.We were set up by our founding President, Kate Sheppard, and prominent leaders of NZ's suffrage movement to plan how to use the vote they'd just won for women. They needed to continue to build understanding and drive action to improve the lives of women.Since then, there have been proud shifts in rights for women and gender diverse people, led by many New Zealand community groups and individuals, which brings us to today, and the Gender Equal NZ movement.
