The National Council of Women of New Zealand (Māori: Te Kaunihera Wahine o Aotearoa) is a lobbying group for women's rights. The Council was established in 1896. ==Establishment of the Council== Women in New Zealand won the right to the vote in 1893. Three years later on 13 April 1896, the National Council of Women of New Zealand was established at a women's convention in Christchurch. Kate Sheppard, who had led the campaign for women's suffrage, was elected as the first President. Its aim was to "unite organised societies of women for mutual counsel and co-operation, and all that makes for the good of humanity". Other founding members included: Anna Stout, the founder of the Women's Franchise League; Margaret Sievwright, founder of the Gisborne branch of the Woman's Christian Temperance Union; Annie Schnackenberg, president of Woman's Christian Temperance Union during the suffrage campaign; Wilhelmina Sherriff Bain, president of Canterbury Women's Institute and Ada Wells, founder of the Canterbury Women's Institute.〔 On Kate Sheppard's recommendation, Emily Hill became treasurer of the organisation in 1903. The Council went into recess in 1906.〔
