Women’s Rights Party on Foreign Policy

Stand with women worldwide denied rights, safety, and freedom

The Women's Rights Party says it supports women around the world who are denied education, paid work, or political participation. It also opposes forced child marriage and violence against women internationally. Their main focus is on domestic issues for New Zealand women and children, but they state solidarity with women globally who face restricted freedom and lack of protection.

What they say they'll do

Stand by women everywhere denied access to education, paid work, or political participation
Support women whose freedom of movement is restricted or who face violence, including sexualised violence
Oppose forced marriage of children
Raise awareness of the disproportionate impact of war and conflict on women, children, and the elderly
Draw attention to women and children suffering starvation and famine in refugee camps as a result of wars and conflict

Who this affects

Women and girls in conflict zones or restrictive countries

The party says it will stand by women globally who face denial of education, work, political rights, freedom of movement, protection from violence, or who are harmed by war and displacement.

Pregnant women and mothers in war-affected areas

The party highlights that destruction of health services in conflict zones particularly affects pregnant women and mothers whose babies and children may be injured, starving, or dying with little medical care available.

In their own words

“Women, children and the elderly suffer disproportionally in times of armed conflict.”

“Millions of women and children are suffering starvation and famine in refugee camps as a result of wars and conflict.”

“While atrocities committed in war affect both women and men, their impact is gendered and disproportionately affects women.”
