INTERNATIONAL WOMEN'S DAY
International women's day
is celebrated across the world on
8th March
. It recognize female achievement, women's rights and gender equality.
Gender equality
means that no matter what is your gender because the rights, privileges and opportunities are the same as everyone else.
150 years ago
women couldn't do a lot of things, for exemple they couldn't vote, stand in parlament, receive medical care, own a property, get equal pay as men, visit the same public areas...
Women's right change occurred gradually thanks to the brave women and men who protested for what is right.
Emmeline Pankhurst
was a woman who formed the
Women’s Social and Political Union
in 1903 to get the right to vote for women.
She spent all her life protesting for equal rights for women.
Today
things are changed and everyone can get an education,access healthcare,get a job... However we still have some work to do before we reach equality for all. In facts women are still in minority for exemple in parliament and career fields.
After the access to the vote, women won
other rights
like political representation,access to great opportunities,fairer pay and working rights.
in 1979 Britain had its
first female prime minister,
called Margareth Thatcher
In the late 19th century the fight for women's
suffrage
started, but some of them were arrested, injured, and jailed.
Suffrage
means the right to vote, and at this time, only men could do.
Women received
the right to vote in
1918,
after the end of the first world war, by the government because it realized that women were an important part of the victory in the war.
In facts, during the first world war women started to take on jobs typical male jobs like mechanics, drivers, and they were needed in hospitals, to work in factories and farms
At first only women over 30 years old could vote, but in 1928 women over 21 were finally allowed
