Did women ever fight for their
rights? Yes, they did.
Since the 18th century women have
fought for their rights in countries
such as the United States and
England, and after that in other
countries, too .
Women who fought for the right to vote
were called “Suffragettes” because the
word “suffrage” means “right to vote.”
Women fought in many ways for their human
rights. They made demonstrations, wrote
letters to the Congress and Parliament, wrote
books, went to Court, published articles and
announcements in the press.

Even though most women were
given their civil rights, do you
think they really have their full
rights today and
are equal to men?
In most countries, even today women still do not have full rights.
Women are still discriminated against in many areas:
They are not paid as much as
men, even when they are doing
the same job.
There are less women in higher
positions than men.
Although the struggle for equal rights
between men and women is still going
on, the status of women in many
countries of the world is improving.
One of the most effective ways to
change injustice is to show the
younger generation the proper way to
live according to the laws of equal
human rights without any
discrimination.
