Activity 2: The Right to Vote
At the turn of the century, New Zealand elected its first ever government. Richard John Seddon served as the leader of the Liberal Party from 1893-1906. Prior to 1893, only men were legally allowed to vote. This all changed in the late 1800s when a woman named Kate Sheppard lead a suffragist movement in New Zealand calling for a change in law. Her hard work finally paid off when the Electoral Act was passed into law on 19 September 1893, giving women the right to vote. New Zealand was the first country to give all women the right to vote. There were still countries in the world (e.g. Saudi Arabia) who, until recently, did not allow women to vote.
On your blog tell us what you think about the fact that women were not allowed to vote in Saudi Arabia until 2015. Is it fair? Why or why not?
It is not fair because the woman's do everthing and the men 's don't.
And thats is why woman should be allowed to bots in saudi.

ReplyDeleteGreetings to you Akesa,
ReplyDeleteMy name is Aletheia and our school is also doing the summer learning journey.What an outstanding work you have did on this blog about women having to vote and I totally agree with you like people should let women vote like they are a part of the country plus I totally agree with women have to do everything while the men are at work.
I really enjoy reading this reason of yours ,you have did a very good job with this blog post.
Plus great job for Kate to step up for the women.
Nice Job Akesa.

Hey Akesa, thank you for sharing your thoughts on the voting situation for women in Saudi Arabia. It is a real shame that it has taken them so long to finally give women the right to vote. 2015 is far too late, especially when other countries have given women the right to vote many many decades ago.
ReplyDeleteDo you think the voting age of 18 is good or should it be lowered or raised?
Thanks, Billy
