Advocacy
Policy
Rural Women New Zealand has a long history supporting our rural communities with public policy work. You can view our previous submissions below.
Additionally, we have recently launched a fresh new approach for our public policy work, giving an opportunity for interested members to contribute to our work on our priority policy areas. As well as working on our responses to proposed legislation and issues that affect rural communities, you can have the opportunity to learn from and engage with women from around the country.
We encourage you to take some to read through the information provided and put your hand up to be part of this important work.
