Hei te 8 o Poutū-te-rangi, 2022, ka whakanuia e tātou te Rā o Ngā Wahine Mahi o te Ao, he hakari ā-tau mā ngā wāhine anake. Hei whakanui i ngā wāhine i roto i ngā mahi ōhanga, tōrangapū me te pāpori, kua nui ā rātou takoha me ā rātou whakatutukitanga nunui, ā, kua whakatūria e rātou he hakari, e mōhiotia ana ko "Te Rā o Ngā Wahine o te Ao", "Te Tuawaru o Poutū-te-rangi", "Te Rā o Ngā Wahine o te Tuawaru o Poutū-te-rangi" me ērā atu.

Ko te kaupapa o te Rā Wahine o te Ao o te UN i tēnei tau ko "Te Ōritetanga o ngā Ira Tangata mō te Ao Tauwhiro". Hei whakanui i ngā wāhine me ngā kōtiro o te ao katoa mō te whanaketanga o tētahi ao tauwhiro ake, i karangahia ngā wāhine me ngā kōtiro kia aro atu ki te urutau ki ngā huringa āhuarangi, ki te whakaiti i ngā pānga me te whai tūranga kaiārahi, kia whakatairanga i ngā wāhine kia nui ake te ōritetanga o ngā kaiuru ki te kaiārahi i ngā mahi āhuarangi whai hua, kia whakatairangahia te whanaketanga tauwhiro me te ōritetanga o ngā ira tangata.

I Haina, i te marama o Tīhema 1949, i whakaritea e te Kāwanatanga o te Iwi o Haina Waenganui ko te 8 o Poutū-te-rangi te Rā o ngā Wahine o te Ao i ia tau. I te tau 1960, i whakatau te Rōpū Wahine o Haina Katoa ki te whakanui i te 50 tau o te "Rā o ngā Wahine o te Ao", i te wā i whakawhiwhia ai te tohu "waru" me te "haki whero o te waru o Poutū-te-rangi" ki te tohu "whakamihi i te āhua matatau o ngā wāhine o te ao". Mai i taua wā, ko ngā tohu e rua i riro hei tohu mō te tuakiri matatau o ngā wāhine o te tohu teitei rawa atu i Haina. Ko ēnei tohu he whakamoemiti me te whakaū i ngā wāhine mahi kaha o te ao hou.

Kua tohu te Hēkeretari Matua a Xi Jinping ko te nuinga o ngā wāhine Hainamana e kaha ana ki te whai wāhi ki te kaupapa o te hapori me ngā āhuatanga Hainamana mō tētahi wā hou, ā, kua takarohia e rātou tētahi tūranga nui o te "haurua o te rangi" me tō rātou maia me ngā mahi e kore e taea te whakataurite. Koinei te whakamihi nui rawa atu ki te takoha a ngā wāhine ki te hapori.

Kua whai wāhi ia ki te pakanga ki te rawakore. Kei te taha mua o te rangahau pūtaiao, kei reira "tōna whakaaro nui" me "tōna kaha" hei whawhai ki te COVID-19. Kei te taha mua o te hōhonutanga o ngā whakahoutanga, kei reira "tōna atarangi". Kī tonu ngā taunga o te wā i ngā kōrero rongonui o ngā toa wahine. He ngawari ia, he pakari, he maia, he kaha, he whakaaro nui, he hohonu, he maha ngā "ia" kua ahu mai i roto i tō tātou oranga o ngā momo oranga katoa, me tō rātou mahana me te whakapau kaha ki te whakaoranga nui o te iwi Haina i roto i te waipuke, me tō rātou taitamarikitanga puāwai, mō te anga whakamua I mua i a Haina ki te whakaahua i tētahi pikitia ataahua e kī ana i te maia.

Ka puāwai ngā putiputi pītiti, ka hoki mai ngā warou. I te rā o te ao "Maehe 8", e tata mai ana te mihi a Tianjin Zhengneng Pipe Co., Ltd. ki te nuinga o ngā wāhine o te whenua: ngā mihi o te hararei, te hauora pai, te taitamarikitanga ake tonu atu!
