International women's day

Today is the 105th anniversary of International Women’s Day, 1911-2016 , 8 March 2016.
Make a Pledge For Parity

Women's Day events honour and celebrate the achievements of women all around the world, ranging from small random informal gatherings to large highly organised events.






The Mt Roskill War Memorial Park was a sea of beautiful people in their beautiful clothes.


I am very proud of Kate Sheppard. Her image appears on our ten dollar note. She is mainly responsible for New Zealand to be the first country to give women the vote in modern times.

Katherine Wilson Sheppard (10 March 1847 – 13 July 1934) was the most prominent member of New Zealand's women's suffrage movement, and is the country's most famous suffragette. Because New Zealand was the first country to introduce universal suffrage, Sheppard's work had a considerable impact on women's suffrage movements in other countries. During one of the protest movement, she led a whole group of ladies to lie down on the road and the police couldn't do anything.

Sheppard played a considerable part in getting the women's suffrage bill was successfully passed, granting women full voting rights. Sheppard herself was widely acknowledged as the leader of the women's suffrage movement.

An elderly friend in her 80s told me that when she was growing up, the girls wanted to be like Kate.

Sheppard is considered to be an important figure in New Zealand's history. A memorial to her exists in Christchurch.




In 1975, I was a young impressionable 20 year old when I went to Canada and heard Helen Reddy sing. This song was chosen by United Nations as the anthem for the International year of women. Together with my girls friends in the Laurier Hall, the hostel for women only in Windsor University, we sang this song with gusto. That year, I became aware of women's rights and women's lib. I became a champion for this cause. Some of the boys accused us to be lesbians.

I am woman, hear me roar
In numbers too big to ignore
And I know too much to go back an' pretend
'cause I've heard it all before
And I've been down there on the floor
No one's ever gonna keep me down again

CHORUS
Oh yes I am wise
But it's wisdom born of pain
Yes, I've paid the price
But look how much I gained
If I have to, I can do anything
I am strong (strong)
I am invincible (invincible)
I am woman

You can bend but never break me
'cause it only serves to make me
More determined to achieve my final goal
And I come back even stronger
Not a novice any longer
'cause you've deepened the conviction in my soul

CHORUS

I am woman watch me grow
See me standing toe to toe
As I spread my lovin' arms across the land
But I'm still an embryo
With a long long way to go
Until I make my brother understand

Oh yes I am wise
But it's wisdom born of pain
Yes, I've paid the price
But look how much I gained
If I have to I can face anything
I am strong (strong)
I am invincible (invincible)
I am woman
Oh, I am woman
I am invincible
I am strong

I am woman
I am invincible
I am strong
I am woman


Today, I am no longer the young naive girl. I write books, and some of them are about women and oppression.

Porn Harms

Thank You Nick For The Truth - Porn Harms
Media Release 6 March 2016
Family First NZ is thanking Nick Willis for lifting the lid on the harms of pornography, saying that his honesty is a ‘reality check’ for society and that it takes ‘a real man’ to front up to the harm that porn does.

“The porn industry pedals the myth that porn is harmless, But society is fortunately being woken up to the fact that pornography is harmful and leads to addictions, broken marriages, increased sexual violence, child sexual abuse, sex trafficking and prostitution. Even those in the industry admit that its becoming more extreme,” says Bob McCoskrie, National Director of Family First NZ.

Thank You Nick For The Truth – Porn Harms

Media Release 6 March 2016
Family First NZ is thanking Nick Willis for lifting the lid on the harms of pornography, saying that his honesty is a ‘reality check’ for society and that it takes ‘a real man’ to front up to the harm that porn does.
“The porn industry pedals the myth that porn is harmless, But society is fortunately being woken up to the fact that pornography is harmful and leads to addictions, broken marriages, increased sexual violence, child sexual abuse, sex trafficking and prostitution. Even those in the industry admit that its becoming more extreme,” says Bob McCoskrie, National Director of Family First NZ.
“Nick’s honesty and bravery will be the catalyst for a national conversation on the harms of pornography and will hopefully be an incentive for other men who struggle to seek help.”
“Part of this societal change is happening because social scientists, clinical psychologists, biologists and neurologists are now beginning to understand the psychological and biological negative effects of viewing pornography. They show that men who view pornography regularly have a higher tolerance for abnormal sexuality, including rape, sexual aggression, and sexual promiscuity. Prolonged consumption of pornography results in stronger perceptions of women as commodities or as “sex objects,” says Mr McCoskrie.
A 2002 meta-analysis by the National Foundation for Family Research and Education (NFFRE) at the University of Calgary found that viewing pornography leads to perceptions of sexual dominance, sex role stereotyping, viewing persons as sexual objects, sexual aggressiveness, and sexually hostility and violent behaviours. A 2013 study by Cambridge University found that porn addiction leads to the same brain activity as alcoholism or drug abuse. And a recent study out of Indiana University and the University of Hawaii at Manoa which was a meta-analysis assessing 22 different studies from seven different countries around the world found that internationally the consumption of pornography was associated significantly with both verbal and physical aggression among males and females alike.
Research has shown that children who are exposed to pornography develop skewed ideas about sex and sexuality, which lead to negative stereotypes of women, sexual activity at a young age, experiment with drink and drugs and indulge in sexting, and increased aggression in boys.
La Trobe University in Australia said; “This is not about couples going to the porn store to spice up their sex lives. Men in growing numbers are using porn in ways that are secret, shameful and damaging. It is having a damaging impact on intimacy and sexuality.” 
“Thank you Nick Willis for being a real man, fronting up to the issue with brutal honesty, and reminding us all that yes – porn harms.”

NZ rapist who kept daughter as sex slave for 23 years to be released despite concerns

One of New Zealand’s most prolific rapists is set to be released from prison despite a Parole Board finding that he remains 'an undue risk to community safety'.

Ronald Van Der Plaat, now 82, kept his daughter as a sex slave for 23 years when she was aged between nine and 32.
He was sent to prison for 14 years in 2000 for the horrific abuse, which included putting her head in a padlocked box while he raped her, the New Zealand Herald reported.
Mr Van der Plaat must be released on his statutory release date of May 11, 2016.
However, in a parole decision released on Tuesday, the New Zealand Parole Board has declined a request for his release before that date.

The board noted that the most recent psychological assessment of Mr Van der Plaat found he had “a medium-high risk of sexual reoffending”.
That, coupled with “the fact that he has remained in denial and therefore has not obtained any treatment in relation to that offending” meant that he remained “an undue risk to the safety of the community,” the board found.
Mr Van der Plaat’s daughter, Tanjas Darke, waived her right to anonymity and wrote a book detailing the depraved and horrific assaults carried out on her by her father.
She was also the subject of a television documentary, To Hell and Back, in which she detailed a life of physical and psychological bondage, rape, sexual violence and indecent assault.
By the time she was 12 years old, Ms Darke had been treated for a number of sexually transmitted diseases.

Tanjas Darke wrote about her life of abuse in Flight of the Dancing Bird.

Incest fear: Living in fear after my dad's release
"It happened so quick I didn't even have time to turn around and wave goodbye to my childhood," she said.
Mr Van der Plaat was released in 2010 but was jailed again in 2012 after committing further offences, the New Zealand Herald reported.
He had reportedly been seen at Auckland Museum holding the hand of an Asian girl thought to be about five.
In its most recent parole decision, the board said: “The psychological report says that the most likely target for Mr Van der Plaat will be vulnerable solo mothers, most likely non- European immigrants, and that he will groom their trust through offering financial, material, practical and emotional support.
“Future victims are likely to be their female children with Mr Van der Plaat assuming some form of caregiver role,” the board said.
While he will be subject to GPS monitoring, the community probation service told the parole hearing that this would assist in determining where Mr Van der Plaat was spending his time but it would not indicate who he was spending time with.
