“we are proud to be able to join you tonight in celebrating the 125th anniversary of women’s suffrage in your country,”the achievements of the women of new zealand who campaigned for their right to vote, and were the first in the world to achieve it, are universally admired,”in looking forward to this very special occasion, i reflected on the importance of this achievement, but also the larger impact of what this symbolizes…because yes, women’s suffrage is about feminism, but feminism is about fairness,

“suffrage is not simply about the right to vote but also about what that represents: the basic and fundamental human right of being able to participate in the choices for your future and that of your community, the involvement and voice that allows you to be a part of the very world that you are a part of.” meghan markle implored. markle described women’s suffrage as a method of silencing the minority view. “it is not simply about the right to vote for women, but also about what that represents: the basic and fundamental human right of all people, including those members of society who have been marginalized whether for reasons of race, gender, ethnicity or orientation, to be able to participate in the choices for their future and their community.”.

while signing out, the duchess used a quote new zealand most popular suffragette, kate sheppard :”all that separates, whether of race, class, creed or sex, is inhuman and must be overcome.'”
