It's International Women's Day - but as many of us know, there's still a lot of work to be done.

And that sentiment's been echoed today by Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern.

Speaking at an event in Parliament this morning, she says the work will be done, when gender doesn't feature in the minds of girls and young women.

She says as long as we have a country where women are over-represented in intimate partner violence, over-represented in low-paid work, as long as there is a gender pay gap, then all of us will only celebrate to a certain degree, knowing there is plenty more work to be done.

Ardern says New Zealand's a trail blazer in giving women the vote, but we need to keep progressing.

Also today: a horror crash near tourist hotspot Tekapo has claimed three lives, and the heartbreaking sudden death of an Auckland photographer who was nine months pregnant.

Hosted by Juliette Sivertsen.
