The New Zealand Council of Trade Unions joined Prime Minister Helen Clark, Green MP Sue Kedgley and the YWCA in voicing concerns about New Zealand's involvement in the Miss World pageant despite reassurances from the Nigerian Government that the decision to stone a woman to death for adultery will be overturned.
CTU vice-president Darien Fenton said 17-year-old Miss World New Zealand Rachel Huljich had an opportunity like no other Miss New Zealand has had to stand up for women's rights.
Organisers had yet to decide if Miss Huljich would go to the event due to be held on November 30 in the capital Abuja.
