TE MANA WĀHINE

When: 6:00 pm, Tuesday May 21st
Where: 503-024, Grafton Campus

Calling all future health professionals with an interest in reducing inequities for Māori in the New Zealand health system!  Our new event Te Mana Wāhine is an exciting speaker series and opportunity for exposure to a female Māori world view of the state of health in Aotearoa.

Empowering Māori women in the health workforce is a way to reduce inequalities for Māori.  The concept of Te Mana Wāhine comes from Te Ao Māori. It speaks of a power held by Māori women, passed down by the ancestors, that empowers them to bring together our communities, overcome any challenges we face and nurture the well-being of everyone. This power is simultaneously within each of our speakers and is our speakers, which is why we feel that hearing their stories first hand will show how we, as future healthcare professionals, are able to celebrate and empower Māori women to be leaders within the health workforce for Māori.  

With your delicious vegan meal provided, this event is not to be missed.
