Protests

 Hi guys and welcome back to another blog. Today I will be talking about protests that have happened around New Zealand and how/what changed when these protests happened. I have made a slide about Protests and about what protest I choose to look into. The protest that I choose to look more into was women's suffrage and if you don't know what that means. Women's suffrage means the right for women to be able to vote in elections. 

On 19 September 1893, the election act 1893 was passed giving all women in New Zealand the right to vote in elections, and as a result of this landmark, New Zealand became the first self-governing country in the world in which all women had the right to vote in parliamentary elections.

Here is the sideshow about protests... it does also has a glossary about words that I'm not quite sure of yet.


So there was also a whole heap of other protests but I choose to support the women's suffrage protest. The book that we read was called ' Stand up,  history of protest in New Zealand' By Dylan Owen.
