Australian & New Zealand Association — Suffrage 125
On 28th November 1883, the Women of New Zealand voted for the first time.
New Zealand became the first self-governing country in the world to grant all women, over the age of 21, the right to vote in parliamentary elections. This law was passed on the 19th September 1893, after an enormous struggle by suffragists in New Zealand, led by Kate Sheppard.

Proud to be a part of the Suffrage 125 national event programme The Suffrage 125 symbol draws on historical colours and icons adopted by women’s suffrage petitioners and presents them in a contemporary form. Violet represented dignity and self-respect and the white camellia was worn by people supporting women’s right to vote in New Zealand. The ‘125’ contains a koru as a link to our distinct New Zealand culture. The 'Whakatū Wāhine' phrase represents women — and all people — standing for the rights of women. (Image: Suffrage 125)
