HIGHLIGHTS OF PWW(NZ) PROGRAMME 2005-2006
PWW(NZ) was very active in meetings and events to fulfil its primary aim to monitor, review and report on the status on women in new Zealand under the Beijing Platform for Action.
PWW(NZ) NGO Supplementary CEDAW Report
Implementation by Government of its obligations under the Convention for the Elimination of all Forms of Discrimination Against Women (CEDAW) came under scrutiny as PWW(NZ) prepared a Supplementary NGO Report to the CEDAW Monitoring Committee due to be presented in August 2007.
We continued to report to the Asis Pacific Women’s Watch (APWW), representing
women of the wider region, the international network to which we are linked.
Community Activities
In the community we promoted our work through forums, seminars, workshops and fund raising evenings and helped fund an office we share with the Bridgebuilders Trust at
70 Khyber Pass Road, Auckland.
