Nau mai, welcome to the Womanhood Journal.

In celebration of International Women’s Day, the Womanhood Journal proudly showcases stories of real women from the Kāpiti and Horowhenua communities in Aotearoa, New Zealand.

The 2025 issue is currently in production and will be launched on March 3th 2025. Past issues can be reviewed in our library — hover over the menu to see more!


The Womanhood Journal is a publication which has provided a platform for women’s stories to be acknowledged and celebrated. To date we have heard from more than 120 women in our community whose stories have offered depth, variety and meaning to the pages within.

Not only has it become a powerful way to inspire, educate and uplift others, but it has also provided an opportunity to give back to two local women’s charities - Kāpiti Women’s Centre and Horowhenua Women’s Refuge - with the proceeds of this journal heading their way to support the important work they do in helping women to rise.
