I came across a document ‘WOMEN’S EMPOWERMENT PRINCIPLES’. The article below unpacks its intention, influence, and New Zealand law firms who have signed on to the related 'Gender Equality Charter'...
Many points to reflect on. Language to be challenged. Metrics to serve international corporations and that don’t adjust to every nation’s reality or culture. Trying to square the circle to fit into foreign policies.
What has all of this liberalization done for us .. Fertility rate that has dropped below 1.58 and going down . At 1.9 you have a non recoverable social economic situation that in 20 years the work force will be too small and the government entitlements can no longer be met and the workers leave the country and that exacerbates that issue hence in 2024, 80,000 left what was the exodus in 2025 , I expect the government will tell more lies . Why would young couples marry when they have seen what the FAMILY COURTS do in separations , sorry women the courts are in your FAVOR , and we men know it so grow old ALONE ! I have looked at the demographic charts on fertility , in the 70's women were having between -4 kids , no more . Will I ever get married , NO WAY IN HELL !
Thank you for this clearly written and highly significant article.

Can’t read all this. It is a kind of madness that has infected the world. What is more, people voted for Trump because of stuff like this….
Great piece, Penny, have cross posted
