Happy International Women's Day!
Reminder links to events we've listed so far here and here.

- Jan Logie asks if this is a day to celebrate?
- Catherine Delahunty suggests the Minister look close to home for women's issues to address.
- The Standard blogs the NZCTU release (see below) which will no doubt create some discussion.
