Women’s Division Federated Farmers New Zealand Label Badge
W.D.F.F.N.Z
This badge is from the Women’s Division Federated Farmers of New Zealand, a non-sectarian society with aims to better the conditions of women and children living in the country. The movement began in 1925 when a group of 16 farmers’ wives, on holiday in Wellington while their husbands were attending a conference of the Farmers’ Union (now the Federated Farmers), became concerned with the hardships of farmers’ wives and families living in isolated areas, and so formed a group which grew into the second largest organisation of women in New Zealand. .
Rest and holiday homes were established throughout the country to enable country women to take a rest at moderate cost and in congenial surroundings.
