The policy work undertaken by the Ministry of Women’s Affairs focuses on improving the lives of New Zealand women. The programme is guided by the Action Plan for New Zealand Women which gives us a clear direction and measurable goals to achieve.
The Action Plan for New Zealand Women is a whole-of-government approach to improve women’s lives in the workplace, home, community and as members of society.
