124 years ago today, September 19th, 1893 Women won the right to vote as equals. The strength and perseverance of these beautiful women working together for the greater good, arming themselves with facts. Standing their ground on there belief that women are equal in there right to choose their ruling government, The struggles they faced with dignity and conviction have ensured us as New Zealand women a privilege denied to many of our sisters in the world. If you have not already, take the time to learn the facts about each parties policies. Not just the Facebook rants of other people or media hype. But the actual facts.. be armed with factual information before using your powerful right to choose this country's government. Most of all use this right and privilege it was hard fought and won, for us and every little girl to grow. #WarriorWomen #Suffragist #RightToVote #KateSheppard #Suffrage2017 #Election #WomenVote #Strength

Good vibes at the marae 💚 #Suffrage2017 #earlyvote #ffs #HaurakiWaikato
