Her Story Your Story | The trailblazer behind women’s suffrage in New Zealand | Kate Sheppard
Description
🌍 #HerStoryYourStory 🌟
🎙️ This week on LaraGlobalPedia, we honor the International Day for the Elimination of Violence Against Women by sharing the incredible story of Kate Sheppard, the trailblazer behind women’s suffrage in New Zealand.
💡 Did you know that in 2023, every 10 minutes a woman is killed by a partner or family member? 💔 Kate witnessed the devastating impact of violence fueled by alcohol and decided to take action—first through temperance, then by championing women’s voting rights. Her efforts made New Zealand the first country in the world to grant women the vote in 1893!
📜 Kate’s fight reminds us that the rights we have today—like voting, education, and safety—were not freely given but hard-won by pioneers like her.
🔑 Her words still inspire us:"Do not think your single vote does not matter much. The rain that refreshes the parched ground is made up of single drops."
🎧 Listen now to learn how one woman’s courage transformed society and what we can do to continue her legacy.
✨ Let’s honor the women who fought for our freedoms and stand up for those who still need our support. Together, we can make a difference. 💪
