Can you help us safeguard gender equity in NZ?
We are creating New Zealand’s first dedicated watch-dog for safeguarding gender equity: can you help us?

Ready to help create New Zealand’s first dedicated watch-dog for safeguarding gender equity?
Recently the women of the USA lost their right to safe abortions. The Supreme Court overturned Roe V Wade, a ruling that had been in place for 50 years.
Since then many New Zealanders have been asking “How can we make sure this doesn’t happen here?”
There is a way. We need your help.
We can safeguard our rights by holding our elected members to account and learning where they stand on the issue of abortion and gender equity.
This takes time, money and dedication.
We will do this by collecting data, gathering insights, ranking and reviewing policies, presenting information on gender equality and delivering campaigns for action.
Gender Justice Collective's (GJC) vision is for Aotearoa New Zealand to lead the world in gender equity. We are an independent, intersectional, non-profit network who came together in the lead-up to the 2020 General Election to shine a light on how committed to gender equity our political parties are.
We have successfully advocated for the inclusion of a National Women’s Health Strategy and Action Plan in the new Pae Ora legislation.
Project Gender supports the work of the GJC through insights research, campaigns and advocacy and administration.

Project Gender's involvement (page creator)
We want Aotearoa New Zealand to lead the world in gender equity: we've spent the past two years advocating for this, on behalf of the women, wāhine, trans, non-binary & intersex people of our nation.
Use of funds
Funding will enable us to monitor local & national government activity and analyse how they will impact gender equity. We will also lead a nationwide survey to understand & shape policy priorities for women, wāhine, trans, non-binary and intersex people.

Latest update
Thank you for helping us to safeguard gender equity in Aotearoa - can you help us make some noise?! 15 August 2022
Kia ora,
The last week in New Zealand politics has reminded us of the importance of holding our elected decision-makers to account.
Across the political spectrum, we’ve seen allegations of sexist, racist and misogynist behaviour, and we’re raising our eyebrows at some of the excuses being reached for. “Boys will boys” was the one that, personally, had me yelling at the radio.
Listening to Chris Luxon answer questions about the culture challenge within the National party highlighted just how gendered his thinking is on this and no doubt many other issues of public importance.
Why does this matter to us?
For our team, we’re even more fired up than usual (which is saying something), because with an election coming up in just over a year’s time, we need to know at all times where our decision-makers stand on issues of gender equity and how they’ll vote on important issues.
We want to hold all parties to account for their promises and hear their views on issues that they often shy away from. Issues that women, wāhine, trans, non-binary and intersex people of Aotearoa told us in the YouChoose2020 survey that really matter to them.
Issues like Healthcare reforms. Access to abortion. Honouring Te Tiriti. Childcare support. Family violence. Single parents. The justice system.
We're committed to working tirelessly over the next 12+ months to ensure that we go into the next election with full transparency about who we’re voting for, and where they stand on issues that matter most to us all.
We need your help.
We’ve run Gender Justice Collective voluntarily for two years and amassed some big wins along the way. Now, as we look to the next year of mahi, we’re asking for your support to help us make an even bigger impact.
Can you help us, today to safeguard gender equity? Sharing the campaign with your friends & networks, joining us on social media and cheering on the mahi all make a HUGE difference. Thank you.
And, thank you to everyone who has championed this cause and supported us so far - we’re so grateful for your assistance.
Mā mua, mā muri, ka oti te mahi.
From the front, from the back, we will get it done.
Ngā mihi nui,
Erin, Tania & Ange
