The Suffrage Movement means love, beauty, and empathy.

It means women coming together and empowering one another.

To me, the Suffrage Movement is more than just something that happened 125 years ago,

To me, it is being a young woman in New Zealand

knowing my voice can be heard

That my gender does not make me inferior

That what may or may not be in between my legs will not interfere with what I believe in.

It is knowing I am loved and worth fighting for.
