About us

Te Kāhui Kaiwhakawā Wāhine o Aotearoa / New Zealand Association of Women Judges, was founded in 2006. Our name Te Kāhui denotes a flock and a dynamic sense of coming together of people of rank as women judges. It inspires us to work together with energy and drive, mindful of our integrity and responsibility as judges. We are grateful to our tuākana Caren Fox, and all our Māori women members for this precious gift. Our new name and tohu together capture who we are and what our association aspires to achieve: the pursuit of justice and truth through compassion and empathy.
