Petition request
That the House of Representatives conduct an inquiry on the abuse and intimidation of women representatives, in Parliament and local authorities.
Petition reason
I believe: NZ political culture has become hostile, aggressive and intimidating, more so for women in politics; the level of dehumanising, obscene and misguided behaviour is threatening democracy as candidates are not standing or are resigning; threats of violence and sexual violence are affecting the operation of democracy and must be addressed; and the Government needs an inquiry into the content of threats and the agendas of those who threaten women.
