“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.

'Invisible boy' Malachi was failed again and again until his brutal death
The torture and murder of 5-year-old Malachi Subecz is a “national disgrace” but changes made in the wake of his death will not prevent further killings in the future.
The damning view of Coroner Janet Anderson is revealed in a long-awaited 132-page report into one of New Zealand’s most shocking child-killings - the 2021 death of Malachi at the hands of his ‘caregiver’, Michaela Barriball.
