Christchurch Call

Former Prime Minister, New Zealand; Patron of the Christchurch Call

Description

Right Hon Dame Jacinda Ardern served as the 40th Prime Minister of New Zealand from 2017-2023. During her time in office, she faced significant challenges, including a live streamed domestic terror attack against New Zealand’s Muslim community. Ms Ardern’s focus on people, kindness, and what she has called “pragmatic idealism” saw the creation of the Christchurch Call to Action to Eliminate Terrorist and Violent Extremist Content Online. As well as being the Patron of the Christchurch Call, Dame Ardern is currently a Distinguished Fellow at the Blavatnik School of Government at Oxford University and a member of their World Leaders Circle. Recently she was the 2023 Angelopoulos Global Public Leaders Fellow at the Harvard Kennedy School, and the inaugural Knight Tech Governance Leadership Fellow at Harvard Law School’s Berkman Klein Center for Internet and Society, where she focused on ways to improve content standards and platform accountability for extremist content online.
