Meet our Ethnic Women Candidates: NZ Election 2020
“Meet the Ethnic Women Candidates: NZ Elections 2020 Webinar series”
1. Tue 29th Sep 2020, 6:00-7:30pm
2. Wed 30th Sep 2020, 6:00-7:30pm
Hosted by the Ethnic Women in Politics (EWP) project at the University of Auckland and University of Waikato, with support from the Marsden Fund, Royal Society and EarthDiverse, the ‘Meet the Ethnic Women Candidates: NZ Elections 2020’ webinar series features two panel discussions with women candidates from minority ethnic communities who represent the major political parties in the upcoming 2020 New Zealand elections. The use of the term ‘Ethnic’ is defined as non-Māori, non-Pacific and non-Pākeha. Globally, we are observing an increased spotlight on women leaders from minority ethnic groups, often as voices of resistance to and transformation within established political systems.
