Over the past decade and largely under the radar, publicly funded lobby groups have promoted an agenda that has put the rights of women and girls at risk.
At the same time women’s voices have been shut down in our universities, public service, the mainstream media and our unions. Jobs have been put at risk if people dare to question gender ideology. Lesbians have been thrown out of Pride events and are having to defend themselves in the Human Rights Tribunal.
Ironically it is women who have willingly ceded our spaces, allowing our organisations and our unions to be co-opted by the politics of “kindness and inclusivity” to the exclusion of women’s issues and rights.
Who would have thought that more than 130 years after New Zealand women fought for and won the right to vote, the first self-governing country in the world to have women’s suffrage, we would need to organise to protect our hard-won rights?
If you would like to attend please register with catering@bpwfranklin.org.nz and pay $35 to BPW Franklin Inc account 02 0404 0100956 00 by tomorrow. You will be informed of the venue when you register. We look forward to welcoming you

If you have a hidden second phone for your safety, we recommend turning it off or putting it in flight mode for the duration of the test (6-7pm on Sunday 25 May) to ensure it’s not discovered when the nationwide Emergency Mobile Alert is sent.
Some mobile devices set to silent mode will still emit a sound when the Emergency Mobile Alert test is sent, so switching to flight mode or turning off your device is the only way to avoid the loud sound of the alert.
You can find more information about the Emergency Mobile Alert system, including a factsheet and list of FAQs at www.getready.co.nz

We have recently been informed that the school bus service for Ardmore Primary will be discontinued from the next term due to rising costs, which the school is unfortunately no longer able to subsidize. As a result, families are now being asked to make alternative arrangements for getting their children to and from school.
Understandably, this presents a significant challenge, especially as many of our children are well settled at Ardmore and we wish for them to continue their education there without disruption.
I’m reaching out to connect with other parents who may also be affected by this change. I’m particularly interested in hearing from families who already drop off and collect their children daily, as I am open to contributing towards a shared arrangement such as a carpool and am happy to pay a monthly fee or any to help cover costs.
I’m also happy to hear about any other alternative arrangements parents may be considering or have already put in place.
Your input and suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Kind Regards
Sultan
