Labour's made a suite of announcements targeting women.  

The party's released its first women's manifesto promising improved endometriosis care and extended breast cancer screening.  

It'd also introduce gender pay gap reporting and establish an innovation and entrepreneurship scholarship programme for low to middle-income women.  

Employment lawyer Jennifer Mills told Kate Hawkesby New Zealand rates well on gender equality, but there is pay inequality. 

“I’m not sure that frankly an entrepreneurial mentorship programme will go far in addressing the problem, but at least it’s a good start.”
