MOTHER-OF-SEVEN BECOMES FIRST ASSISTANT MĀORI CHILDREN'S COMMISSIONERProtecting the right of tamariki Māori to live in a world free of racism in all its forms is a key ambition outlined by the country’s first assistant Māori commissioner for children. Mother-of-seven, including three whāngai children, Glenis Philip-Barbara has been appointed to the newly-created position by children’s commissioner Judge Andrew Becroft in an announcement on Wednesday. “I think in terms of an advocacy organisation for New Zealand’s 1.1 million children, we need to have a Māori world view, a Māori perspective, a Māori knowledge base embedded in the governance of the Office, and that would benefit all New Zealand’s children, but particularly the 300,000 or so Māori,” Becroft said...... www.stuff.co.nz/pou-tiaki/123004202/motherofseven-becomes-first-assistant-mori-childrens-commissioner
