Stay informed and engaged with the work of your Parliament.

To the incredible women of the Women's Parliament Sitting - your confidence, professionalism and thoughtful presentations truly reflected the qualities of strong parliamentary leaders. You carried yourselves with dignity, spoke with purpose, and demonstrated the importance of women’s voices in leadership and decision-making. Well done on representing the spirit of parliament with such excellence and inspiration.

The Te Reinga Kura o te Pa Iti Vaine Bill 2026 is a specially developed legislative proposal designed for use during the Women’s Parliament. It serves as a practical learning tool to help participants understand how a bill is structured, debated, amended, and advanced through parliamentary stages.

The Bill focused on theme such as:
• women’s leadership development
• equitable participation in governance
• community wellbeing
• recognition of women’s contribution across all sectors

Special thank you to Cook Islands National Council of Women, UNDP in Samoa, Cook Islands, Tokelau & Niue and the New Zealand Government. Meitaki Maata
