Gender and ethnic diversity in content funded by NZ On Air.

PASC member's project Kainga (2022), produced by founding members Kerry Warkia and Kiel McNaughton alongside founding executive Shuchi Kothari, showcased the talents of 11 women writers and directors of Pan-Asian descent. Its impact on ethnicity and gender representation was highlighted in the NZOA 2023 Diversity Report.

Kainga (2022) stands as an exemplary initiative towards equitable representation. It’s success also highlights the potential for further positive change and underscoring the ongoing need for broader and more consistent representation in the industry.
