The 2020 International Women's Day was celebrated in Hawke's Bay on Sunday.
Women in services were celebrated in an action-packed event in Ahuriri.
Police, Fire and Emergency NZ, Napier City Council and Hastings District Council put on the Celebrating Women in Services event which was held at Perfume Point Reserve.
The public could take part in the many events on offer including a tug-of-war, police grip test, fire hose drag, army assault course and entry assessments for each of the emergency services.
"The day provides an opportunity to recognise women's achievements and increase the visibility of women in New Zealand's emergency services," a Police spokesperson said.
