Women's Suffrage - Hurumanu 6

Hi, This week in Hurumanu 6 we are learning about the types of protest movements. The types of protest movements are Sit-Ins, in protest against racial segregation. Marching - protest against the loss of land. Disruption - protest against parties. Protesters clashing - 2 groups protesting different news. We are tasked to research one of the protest-event in a list and answer some basic knowledge questions about it.

I chose the 'Women's Suffrage' movement. What is it? It's a protest action in the days for protesting about allowing women to vote in politics. It occurred in 1983 on September 19. Back in the days, women weren't permitted to vote. It was certainly unfair. The leader of this protest soon became of the women that created a change in history. Kate Sheppard.

She led the protest fearlessly until eventually the rights were given. Thanks to her, today women are allowed to vote. The type of protest they used was marching and soon disruption. Their voices weren't heard enough so some went hardcore. They cut off the telephone lines, break in a store, etc and some even went to jail for it.

The people that were involved in this protest are mostly women. The outcome of this protest led to a sense of peace. New Zealand was the first country that grant women to vote. Here's a link for more info. Fun fact: Kate Sheppard is in a $10 note in NZ.

They also had a song they sang during the protest. Here are the lyrics of the song.

Bye. Have a nice day again.
