Come mark the end of the year with @NCWWLG at their fundraiser ball next month! A chance to let your hair down and party for a good cause! 💜

Head to your local voting place before 7 pm tomorrow so you don’t miss out. You can find out more about the do’s and don’ts when it comes to social media during an election at the link below. /2 bit.ly/2FnJTuS

From midnight tonight until 7 pm on Saturday 17th October 2020, you can’t post or share content that’s likely, or intended to influence someone’s candidate, party or referendum vote. Tomorrow is your last chance to have your say in the 2020 General Election and referendums. /1

Last year, TechWomen NZ created a video series to share stories of 30+ women in tech across Aotearoa. We encourage you to watch and share their stories in honour of Ada Lovelace Day. /3 #AdaLovelaceDay #STEM #WomenInSTEM #WomenInTech

The day aims to increase the profile of wāhine in STEM and, in doing so, create new role models who will encourage more girls into #STEM careers and support women already working in STEM. /2

Tuesday was International Ada Lovelace Day. It is a celebration of the achievements of women in science, technology, engineering and maths (STEM). /1 m.youtube.com/playlist?list=…

... and contribute to the ongoing culture change of tertiary institutions. Help make education safe. Click on the link below to find out more and sign the petition. 💜 /3

Thursdays in Black Aotearoa have launched a petition calling for a compulsory consent education for first-year tertiary students. This will empower our young people with the skills to navigate and create their own healthy sexual relationships, prevent harmful behaviours... /2

One in three students experience sexual violence while studying. Research also shows that women, Māori, Queer, Takatāpui, and disabled students are at significantly higher risk of experiencing harm. /1 #signature-form" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">our.actionstation.org.nz/petitions/cons…

We can’t rely on the major political parties to step up, we need our organisations to start making changes too. Lockdown pushed us to change how and where we work. Let’s not lose the few gains we made. /3

Over 90% of those who lost their jobs due to COVID were women and despite both of New Zealand’s major political parties being led by women, wāhine are still being left behind in the election. They’re still prioritising male dominated industries including construction and tech. /2

“I haven’t told my daughter that, until we do more work to close the gender pay gap, she is likely to be paid less than her male colleagues. And in her case, as an ethnic minority, even less than many of her female colleagues.” /1 i.stuff.co.nz/life-style/lif…

We’ve heard about the structural racism in education affecting Māori scholars and staff, this powerful article sheds light on our Māori students. /3

If universities are the ‘critic and conscience of our society’, then we are failing young Māori students. If our academic institutions are not safe, than how can we expect the rest of the system to be? We can’t and they’re not. /2

“We’re made to fit within the boxes of western knowledge, and feel we have to modify ourselves to the system rather than the other way around.” /1 e-tangata.co.nz/reflections/at…

Employers, government and unions must all take responsibility and action to end the ongoing #GenderPay and #EthnicPay injustices experienced every day by women of all ethnicities across Aotearoa. /3

The #GenderPayGap between Pacific women and Pākehā men is still around 20% in the public sector. In only 272 days, pākehā men have already earned what Pacific women will earn in 365 days. /2

Pacific women are effectively working for free for the rest of the year starting today. Pacific women consistently have the lowest wages of any group in New Zealand in both the private and public sectors. /1
