I have been actively involved in the women's rights movement since 1970. Since 1972 I have been particularly involved in the campaign to repeal anti-abortion laws, and more recently defence of the Auckland Medical Aid Centre, and opposition to what is now the "Wall Act."

I am running with Lois MacGreggor and Ian Westbrooke as a Young Socialist Candidate and give full support to their campaigns.

As a member of WONAAC I am currently working towards buildbig a 'Tribunal on Crimes Against Women" on September 20th, in the Union Hall, to commemorate Women's suffrage day and highlight the suffering of women due to the oppressive laws and practices which presently apply to abortion, contraception and sterilisation.

I support the extension of women's studies courses at University as a step towards a much needed revival of women's history.

In an effort to combat the effects of economic and social discrimination there should be a special bursary allowance for female students, creche facilities should be free and financed by the university.

There is a crying need to involve students in activity around women's rights issues within the university and for active support for the struggles of the women's movement.
