About
The Otago branch of the New Zealand Federation of Graduate Women (NZFGW) is affiliated to the International Federation of University Women (IFUW) which was established in 1919 to support education and equality for women and to encourage participation in public issues such as social policy, health and education at a local, national and international level. More than 80 years later, these are still important issues. The NZFGW is one of the few women’s organisations regularly invited to make submissions to Parliament on a range of issues affecting women including education, employment equity, housing, health, social welfare and ACC.
