New Zealand's 6th CEDAW report to the United Nations has been released.
Our Work
The Ministry of Women’s Affairs policy programme is guided by the Action Plan for New Zealand Women which gives us a clear direction and measurable goals to achieve.
The Action Plan for New Zealand Women is a whole-of-government approach to improve women’s lives in the workplace, home, community and as members of society. It was launched by the Minister of Women’s Affairs on 8 March 2004.
Work has been prioritised in three areas:
- economic sustainability – improving women’s ability to independently provide for themselves and their families
- work-life balance – helping women achieve a greater balance between paid work and life outside of work
- well-being – improving health and social outcomes for women.
