(NZ Herald) The March 15 mosque attacks are at the forefront of the Islamic Women’s Council national conference.
This morning’s session at the Zayed College for Girls in Auckland’s Mangere opened with a reflection on the tough year for the Islamic community.
Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern told the crowd of about 250 the past months have been exhausting — because the community’s still picking up the pieces five months on.
She promised to help workshop aspiring Muslim leaders in politics.
Responding to a question about how the Muslim community can rise to leadership positions, Ardern said she’d like to unite them with local and central government.
