Girls and boys have always grown up with cultural and societal stereotypes. Despite the unparalleled access to opportunities that young women have today, many are still absorbing strong messages about how they should look, act and be. For girls, many of the most powerful influences come from the media, but young girls could find relief among the real people in their lives.

Ashleigh Dick will graduate this week with a Bachelor of Engineering (hons) in Environmental Engineering. Hailing from Warkworth, she is passionate about protecting the environment and believes we should take a holistic view of society to be effective at helping the planet survive. “As an environmental engineer, I believe we need to look more holistically at society, through the lens of poverty and education, to truly affect change for the environment.” Bachelor Of Engineering, Environmental Engineering, Tomorrow Will Be Better, Poverty, Dick, Innovation, Effective

Only 566 people have ever travelled to space. Sixty-five of them, or about 11.5%, were women. NASA recently proclaimed it will put the “first woman and next man” on the Moon by 2024. Despite nearly 60 years of human spaceflight, women are still in the territory of “firsts”.

She’s New Zealand’s first female vascular surgeon, yet Lupe Taumoepeau can count in the dozens the number of times she’s been mistaken for a cleaner. It’s a reminder that there are still too few Māori and Pacific in medicine, especially in its more elite specialties. Here, Dr Lupe — as she’s known at Wellington Hospital where she works as a consultant surgeon, and at the private clinic that she co-founded — talks to Dale about her trailblazing path.

ZA: What advice would you give to women eager to instigate change in their life? CF: Figure out what your passion is. If you're into climate change, fantastic, join the pride. But wherever you want to go into -- women's issues, health, industry, engineering -- choose what your passion is and then pursue it with everything you have. Because honestly, our voices are being much more appreciated, and where they're not, that's exactly where we need to press more.
