WHNZ is…
A not-for-profit incorporated charitable trust working to promote and preserve NZ Women’s History. The project was established in February 2020, and launched in March 2021 with the goal of creating a resource for women’s history that was accessible for everyone and highlighted women’s enormous contributions to our country.

Our Team
Our volunteers are who to thank for this project.
Thank you to our supporters and writers for getting us here. We have grown so much, from a small team of two to our new-found whānau of over 50 people. We can’t express how much your contributions and support have helped.
