Ka hui te Mana Wāhine Kaupapa Inquiry (Wai 2700) mō tana whakarangona e tū mai nei, mai i te 4 ki te 8 o Haratua 2026 ki Ōtiria Marae, Te Tai Tokerau. 

Ma Tiati Reeves e whakakanohi te whakarangona nei, ā, he wāhanga tēnei o te uiuinga whānui e tirotiro ana i ngā takahitanga a te Karauna i Te Tiriti o Waitangi e pā ana ki ngā motika, te tūrangawaewae me te oranga o ngā wāhine Māori. He kaupapa nui te Mana Wāhine Inquiry e wānanga ana i ngā pānga ā-pūnaha o te raupatu me te noho koroni ki runga i ngā wāhine Māori, tae atu ki ngā rerekētanga ā-pāpori, ā-ahurea, ā-ōhanga, ā-tōrangapū hoki. Ka whakarato tēnei i tētahi papa kōrero mō ngā kaikerēme ki te tuku taunakitanga, ki te whakapuaki i ō rātou wheako, ā, ki a tutuki tika ai te whakamanatanga me te whakatika, hei takoto ēnei mōhioranga ki mua i te aroaro ō ngā tari kawana, ā, te Kawanatanga kei te mutungā iho ō ēnei tukanga taraipiunara.

Ko tā Ōtiria Marae hei manaaki i tēnei kaupapa, kia whakahaerehia ngā tikanga ki a whakarangatira i ngā tikanga, ki a haumaru, ki a mārire ngā kōrero, me ngā reo o te whānau, hapū, iwi te whakawhārikitia i ngā kōrero ki te aroaro o te taraipiunara.

E tūmanakohia ana ka whakakotahi te whakarangona nei i ngā kaikerēme, ngā māngai ture, ngā kaumātua, ngā kuia me ngā mema o te hapori whānui. He whai wāhitanga anō tēnei mō te marea ki te whai wāhi ki te tukanga uiuinga, kia mārama ake hoki ki ngā wawata o ngā wāhine Māori mō te ōritetanga, te tika me te rangatiratanga.
