In an historic move the Waitangi National Trust has held a unique and momentous occasion – a pōwhiri conducted entirely by wāhine on the historic Waitangi Treaty Grounds.
The recent Global Women Members Hui marked the first time such an event has taken place, with women leading every component, the karanga, karakia and whaikōrero.
The historic pōwhiri welcomed participants to the Global Women Members Hui 2024, themed “Aotearoa New Zealand 2040: Reimagined Together.”
The significant gathering brought together leading women from the global movement to collectively visualise the skills and mindsets needed to shape a successful future for themselves, their organisations and the country.
