As a government agency, we are committed to meeting the needs of the diverse range of women in New Zealand. Our philosophies around leadership, particularly in leading the government's work on gender equality, very much align with Maori philosophies of inclusive leadership. Those are things like, not just recognizing that certain agencies and parts of government have mandate and power to do things, but also that leadership comes from humility and authenticity, as well as facilitation in connecting people to others who can also contribute to the work.
An example is that our department holds in international caucus meeting twice or three times a year, and that is about our department bringing together like-minded groups of providers, international and domestic, to talk about issues of mutual interest. One of those issues will be the sustainable development goals, and New Zealand's commitment to achieving the sustainable development goals.
We see our role in leadership as not just being a contributor to research and policy, but also being able to connect people who can do the work better, alongside others, just as we do.
Thank you.
