New Zealand marks 133 years since women won the national vote
New Zealand marked Suffrage Day on 19 September, the anniversary of its 1893 extension of voting rights to women.
In a statement for the occasion, the minister for women reflected on the suffrage movement and the continuing work of widening opportunity. This brief marks the dated anniversary and the official statement; it does not treat the government’s claims about its present policies as independently proven outcomes.
