The first Treaty of Waitangi claim filed by an all-female chapter of a gang has been lodged by the leader of the Mongrel Mob Wāhine Toa. It s about looking at the effects that gangs have had upon women and children, historically and to present day, says leader Paula Ormsby.
Ormsby and member Cherie Kurarangi put forward the claim on behalf of the Wāhine Toa chapter as well as Priority Whānau, which encompasses wāhine Māori who are gang-associated, and their children.
