The Ministry of Women’s Affairs held a special topic forum as part of the Human Rights Commission’s 2007 New Zealand Diversity Forum. The theme for MWA’s forum was ‘Young women, work and diversity: aspirations and expectations’. The event was an opportunity for a group of diverse young women from Auckland to discuss issues around career decision-making and how they view work fitting in with other aspects of their life in the future. Here are the notes from that session. (2007)
