Andrew Falloon writes in about Phoebe’s experience at the Beehive... Phoebe did a terrific job representing our area in Youth Parliament. Her speech was excellent, and she made an impressive contribution to the Education and Workforce Select Committee which was considering how our schools operate. Youth Parliament is held every three years to give young people from around the country the opportunity to debate and discuss issues facing them and our country. Phoebe was chosen from seventeen applicants across Mid and South Canterbury. It’s not just about the two days they sit in Parliament, youth MPs also have a responsibility to engage other young people in the area. Phoebe’s speech: Thank you Mr/Mrs Speaker Feminism. The word that almost seems to be like the elephant in the room or the swear word which is too bad to use. I am afraid to use it. I am afraid because if I bring it up in my class, the boys give me unusual looks and tell me “what about us boys, don’t we have rights too?” I am afraid because if I stand up for myself and for women, I’ll get asked if it’s “that time of the month” and you know what, that has to stop. Feminism is not a dirty word. It does not mean you hate men. It does not mean you hate women. It means that you believe in equality. I believe now more than ever before, we need feminism. Feminism has fought no wars. It has killed no opponents. It has set up no concentration camps, starved no enemies, practised no cruelties. Its battles have been for education, for the vote, for better working conditions, for safety in the streets, for child care, for social welfare, for rape crisis centres, for women’s refuges, reforms in the law. Feminism has done nothing but support women wanting better. There is so much going on in the world that I cannot believe we are still fighting over. Take for instance the abortion law. I cannot even begin to tell you how upset I was to hear 25 white Phoebe on the Education and Workforce Select Committee middle-aged men bring in a law and make a decision for women and their bodies. It’s not like those 25 white middle-aged men as a spectrum, instead of two opposing ideas. We should stop can speak from experience of having a uterus, is it? You know defining each other by what we are not, and start defining we need feminism. We need feminism because little girls are ourselves by who we are. So here’s to strong women. May we told that if a boy hits you it means he likes you because men know them. May we raise them and may we be them. shouldn’t be told to “man up” and we need feminism because a man in a room full of women is ecstatic, but a woman in a room full of men is terrified. We are lucky in New Zealand that we have laws implemented and institutional mechanisms to promote the advancement of women and gender equality. We have so many inspiring women to look up to, such as our prime minister, politicians, teachers, mothers, sisters and the list goes on. This issue is so important to me because I am a feminist. A feminist is someone who believes in the power of women just as much as they believe in the power of anyone else and I feel as though we should all have a little bit of feminist in us because 0800 836 852 you don’t have to be anti-man to be pro-woman. Both men and women should feel free to be sensitive. Both men and women should feel free to be strong. It is time that we all see gender

Competitors enjoyed running within the grounds of Opihi College, and cycled on a circuit from Temuka to Milford and return.
