In October 2020, the Green Party signed a cooperation agreement to support a Labour-led government. Davidson became the Minister outside Cabinet for the Prevention of Family and Sexual Violence, as well as holding the Associate Housing portfolio.[4]
Davidson worked for the Human Rights Commission from 2003 to 2012.[8] She has worked part-time for Breastfeeding New Zealand.[9] She was a 'Think Tank Member' for the Owen Glenn Inquiry on Child Abuse and Domestic Violence.[10] She is a founding member of Te Wharepora Hou Māori Women's Collective.[8]
Davidson is an environmentalist and human rights advocate.[6][11] In June 2013 she stood for the Green Party in the Ikaroa-Rāwhiti by-election, where she came fourth with 11.15% of the vote.[6][12]
Davidson has called for liberalisation of abortion law, in addition to better sex education, improved access to contraception, and more support for adoption, having had an abortion as a teenager.[15]
During the 2017 general election, Davidson was ranked second in the Green Party's final candidate list in April 2017.[16] Following the release of the full election results on 7 October, Davidson was reinstated as a list Member of Parliament.[17] The Green Party won 6.3 percent of the votes and eight seats.[18]
Sixth Labour Government, 2017–2023

Following the resignation of Metiria Turei as co-leader of the Green Party in 2017, Davidson was poised as a possible contender for the co-leadership.[19] On 4 February 2018, Davidson officially announced her candidacy for co-leader,[20] and on 8 April won the female co-leadership election, defeating fellow MP Julie Anne Genter who also contested the position.[21] After summing the co-leadership of the Greens, Marama stated that the Greens' responsibility was to push the Labour-led coalition government in a progressive direction including the abolition of letting fees on rental homes.[22]
In response to this, Davidson stated during an anti-racism rally, attended by families with children, that New Zealand needs to reclaim the word "cunt".[25]
During the 2020 general election on 17 October, Davidson was re-elected to Parliament on the party list.[27] Davidson also contested Tāmaki Makaurau, coming third place behind Labour incumbent Peeni Henare and the Māori Party's candidate John Tamihere.[28] The Green Party captured 7.9% of the popular vote (226,754).[29]
Following prolonged negotiations between the Greens and Labour which concluded in a "cooperation" agreement on 31 October 2020,[30] Davidson was designated as the Minister for the Prevention of Family and Sexual Violence and also became Associate Minister of Housing with responsibility for homelessness.[31][32]
Davidson was challenged in May 2021 by the National and Act parties for attending and speaking at a Mongrel Mob gathering at the Waikato Chapters headquarters in Hamilton.[33] Davidson attended the gathering with fellow Green MP Elizabeth Kerekere and the Human Rights Commissioner Paul Hunt.[33][34] The gathering discussed human rights, justice and racism and Davidson defended attending and speaking at the gathering saying in a tweet that it was a "fabulous community event for justice".[33] Davidson also defended attending the gathering saying that it is vital that a range of communities are engaged with and tweeting that gangs were part of the "diverse communities, who have been subject to enduring and systemic racism".[35]
While canvassing at a counterprotest against Kellie-Jay Keen-Minshull's planned speech in Albert Park in March 2023, Davidson stated during an encounter with Counterspin Media host Hannah Spierer, "I am a prevention violence minister, and I know who causes violence in the world. It is white cis men, that is white cis men who cause violence in the world". She was later criticised for this remark by ACT Party leader David Seymour, National Party leader Christopher Luxon, and New Zealand First leader Winston Peters, who called on her to resign from her ministerial portfolio.[36][37] The comment was made after she was struck by a passing motorcyclist who was part of a support group of Destiny Church pastor Brian Tamaki. She didn't require medical attention at the time, and filed a police report at the scene. She later spoke without mentioning the incident.[38] Prime Minister Chris Hipkins disagreed with her choice of words but stated that he understood the context she had make the remarks following the motorcycle and Counterspin incidents.[37] Her message received support from Te Pāti Māori co-leaders Debbie Ngarewa-Packer and Rawiri Waititi, who accused white men of asking her to apologise for her lived experience after having been assaulted.[39]
On 20 June, Davidson was ejected from House proceedings after claiming that ACT MPs were promoting racism through their line of questioning during a debate about national health service Te Whatu Ora's new "Equity Adjustor Score." Several ACT MPs including Karen Chhour and James McDowall claimed that the Equity Adjustor Score favoured Māori and Pasifika patients over other ethnic groups. In response, Davidson stated that "the nature of these questions are absolutely intended to raise racist opinions amongst the New Zealand public." SpeakerAdrian Rurawhe rebuked Davidson for making accusations of racism and ordered her to apologise. Dissatisfied with her apology, Rurawhe ordered Davidson to leave the House.[40][41] Te Pāti Māori co-leader Ngarewa-Packer defended Davidson, claiming that the opposition parties were engaged in race-baiting against Māori.[41]
Sixth National Government, 2023–present
The Green Party increased their Members of Parliament from nine after the 2020 election to fifteen after the 2023 New Zealand general election, including Davidson.[42] This was the party's best election result ever. However, the election generally favoured right-wing parties. It is expected that, once negotiations are concluded, Davidson's Green Party will not be part of the government. After official results were released, Davidson said the party would "lead the ongoing fight to eliminate poverty, honour Te Tiriti, protect nature, and build a climate-resilient future for our mokopuna".[43]
In late November 2023, Davidson assumed the Green Party's conservation, child poverty reduction, prevention of family violence and sexual violence, and social investment spokesperson portfolios.[44]
On 5 December 2023, Davidson was granted retention of the title The Honourable, in recognition of her term as a member of the Executive Council.[45]
In October 2016, Davidson took part in the Women's Boat to Gaza, which intended to highlight the Israeli blockade of the Gaza Strip. Other passengers aboard included the Nobel Peace Prize laureate Mairead Maguire and retired US ArmycolonelAnn Wright. On 5 October, the Women's Peace Flotilla's ship Zaytouna Oliva was intercepted by the Israeli Navy. In response to the boarding of the Women's Peace Flotilla, Green Party co-leader Metiria Turei called on the Israeli authorities to release Davidson and other activists, and to end the blockade of Gaza.[47][48]
On 11 May 2021, she and 16 other New Zealand Members of Parliament donned keffiyeh to mark World Keffiyeh Day.[49]
Personal life and family
Marama Davidson is married to Paul Davidson, with whom she has six children; their last child was born in 2008.[50][51][52] Davidson is a qualified aerobics instructor and used to teach part-time classes at Les Mills International in order to support her children and university studies.[22]
In late June 2018, Davidson disclosed that she had been sexually abused as an eight-year-old child by a distant relative during a Speaking Secrets podcast, a co-production by The New Zealand Herald and Newstalk ZB.[53][54] During the New Zealand Parliament's formal apology to homosexual men convicted of consensual acts before the passage of the Homosexual Law Reform Act in 1986, Davidson acknowledged that her uncle had assaulted a gay man after reacting badly to his proposition. Her uncle was subsequently convicted of manslaughter and imprisoned when the victim fell into Wellington Harbour and drowned. Davidson apologised on behalf of her late uncle to the LGBT community in New Zealand.[55]
On 17 June 2024, Davidson announced that she had been diagnosed with breast cancer and would undergo a partial mastectomy.[56]
