Hon. Marama Davidson

Marama Davidson (Te Rarawa, Ngāpuhi, Ngāti Porou, Ngāti Tahinga) was born into a family of young, urban Māori activists, and brings that with her to Parliament.

Marama has been Green Party Coleader since 2018. Passionate about improving outcomes for the many and not just the few, Marama takes her lead from community leaders who do the hard work on the ground every day.

Being Chief Panelist for the Glenn Inquiry into Domestic Violence and Child Abuse at the Human Rights Commission before being an MP put violence at the forefront of Marama’s political radar. It was her privilege to be Aotearoa’s first ever Minister for the Prevention of Family Violence and Sexual Violence from 2020-2023.

Alongside being Coleader, Marama is currently the Green Party spokesperson for prevention of family violence and sexual violence, child poverty reduction, social investment, and conservation. She lives in Manurewa with her whānau.
