My report on my attendance at the Pacific Regional Workshop on Advancing Women’s Representation in Parliaments, Rarotonga, Cook Islands, 19-21 April, 2006

Attached please find my report to you and your cabinet colleagues on my attendance at last week’s regional meeting.

First, please accept my sincere appreciation for allowing me to join you to represent women parliamentarians in the Cook Islands to this important workshop.

Second, please accept my observations and suggestions for follow on activities from this workshop to add on to work already in train by government and other active political/lobby groups.

I am circulating copies of my report to members of my caucus to inform them as well as to seek their support in due course, as in-country activities and events that may follow on from this regional event take shape.

On a personal note, it has been a pleasure working with you to host the women parliamentarians and delegations from the Pacific.

Na te Atua koe e tiaki, e maine.

Yours sincerely

Vaine Wichman
