Ko te Rā o ngā Wahine o te Ao (IWD) e mōhiotia ana ko "Te Rā o ngā Wahine o te Ao", "Te 8 o Poutū-te-rangi" me te "Te Rā o ngā Wahine o te 8 o Poutū-te-rangi". He hakari tēnei e whakatūria ana i te 8 o Poutū-te-rangi i ia tau hei whakanui i ngā takoha nui me ngā whakatutukitanga nui a ngā wāhine i roto i ngā mara o te ōhanga, te tōrangapū me te hapori.

He rā whakanui te Rā o Ngā Wāhine o te Ao i roto i ngā whenua maha o te ao. I tēnei rā, ka whakamihia ngā whakatutukitanga a ngā wāhine, ahakoa tō rātou iwi, iwi taketake, reo, ahurea, tūnga ōhanga me te tūnga tōrangapū. Mai i tōna tīmatanga, kua whakatuwherahia e te Rā o Ngā Wāhine o te Ao tētahi ao hou mō ngā wāhine i roto i ngā whenua whakawhanake me ngā whenua whakawhanake. Ko te kaupapa wāhine o te ao e tipu haere ana, i whakakahangia e ngā huihuinga ā-ao e whā a te Kotahitanga o Ngā Whenua mō ngā wāhine, me te whakanui i te Rā o Ngā Wāhine o te Ao, kua noho hei karanga tautoko mō ngā tika o ngā wāhine me te whai wāhi a ngā wāhine ki ngā take tōrangapū me te ōhanga.

Whakamahia tēnei wā, kia harikoa ngā hoa wahine katoa i tō hararei! Kei te hiahia hoki ahau kia pakaruhia e ngā kaitākaro wahine o te Olympics e whai wāhi ana ki ngā Tākaro Paralympic o te Takurua, kia tutuki ai ā rātou moemoeā. Haere mai!
