Merepeka Raukawa-Tait: Whanau Ora Commissioning Agency Chair says Maori women in leadership positions are looked down upon - Heather du Plessis-Allan Drive

Whanau Ora's Chair is claiming Maori women are looked down upon in leadership positions.

Whanau Ora believes Maori who are in leadership positions are deemed as bossy, for standing up for their community which is often under-represented.

Commissioning Agency Chair Merepeka Raukawa-Tait says it's important cultural leaders advocate for their communities.

"They should be able to work at all levels and know that they're making a contribution without anybody targeting them."
