If you had the chance, would you know what to say? Meet New Zealand’s new Foreign Minister Nanaia Mahuta. Appointed by Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern on November 6, 2020 Nanaia Mahuta is the country’s first woman and first Mori woman to hold the Foreign Affairs portfolio. ... She has spent 24 years in parliament holding portfolios including trade, customs, Mori affairs, and youth development. In 2016, Mahuta became the first woman to wear a moko kauae to parliament after taking part in a traditional moko - or Mori tattooing design - ceremony. Due to colonization the tradition of moko was dying out. However, since the 2000s there has been a resurgence in the practice as an important way for Mori people to reclaim their heritage and identity. New Zealand may have the most inclusive parliament in the world, with nearly half of the newly sworn in to parliament being women and 11% identifying as LGBTQ+. #newzealand #womeninpolitics #womenempowerment #FemWorks #indigenouswomen
