1919 ~ Yugoslav Women's Alliance

~ at first, mainly upper class women & then professional middle class women joined.

~ worked for women's suffrage (right to vote) reforms in favor of women's rights, gender equality, such as civil marriage, marital property rights, custody of children & women's professional rights.

1945 ~ the 'Royal Dictatorship' was abolished & the rise of a new Communist(Socialist) state was formed.

1946 ~ a new constitution was created that legalized the equality between women and men.

ironically, this was done without the input from the Yugoslav Women's Alliance.

Greece

Women rights became equal to men in 1983. Kalliroi Parren who was born in Siganou, started the feminist movement in Greece with her creation and publication of her newspaper. In the Greek law, men and women have equal employment rights and deserve to be paid equally. Women had the right to have equal access as men to education, vocational training, employment and work development opportunities. Greek woman had the right to start voting in 1952. Sparta was the first city in Greece to start having woman’s rights. In Greece, they started this movement because typically the women where only meant to stay at home and care for their children.

The fight for women’s franchise in India was incremental and ran parallel to the Independence movement in the country. When India finally became a republic in 1950, it did so by bestowing voting rights to all adults in the country regardless of sex, literacy, property, class or religion.

In the Philippines, women legally became persons on September 17th, 1937. Women were finally allowed to vote and were given more rights than before. However, this change wasn't easy to come by. Women came together to create the woman's suffrage movement, in which many men disproved of the idea. They wanted the traditional role of women (cooking, sewing, etc.) to stay. But not all men. One whose opinion probably mattered the most at the time, President Manuel L. Quezon declared that he was in favour of the suffrage movement. Thus, the start of women's rights in the Philippines. Fun fact, the Philippines is one of the first Asian countries to allow women's voting :)

In 1947, the women of Pakistan became equal to men as they were granted suffrage which is the right to vote. Women were also reserved seats in Parliament starting in 1956. By the 1960s, gender equality was specifically guaranteed by the Constitution of Pakistan and all government services were opened to women.

"Feminism" wasn't a principle that was widely accepted in Indian life or recognized in law. However, that all changed in 1947 when India gained independence. The country adopted a democratic government and created a constitution. It's in this constitution that equality was granted to everyone, despite of gender, religion, class, etc. Soon after, several plans were put in place to provide healthcare, education, employment, and welfare to women, leading to women eventually being declared "partners in development".

Agnes De Silva, secretary of the Ceylon Women's Franchise Union, advocated for women's suffrage in 1927. She gathered female Franchise Union members to advocate for constitutional reform at the Donoughmare Commission in 1928, which included her proposed changes in the 1931 constitution.

Before 1930 women in Vietnam inspired by other movements about women's rights began to advocate for women's rights. Later, in 1946 when Vietnam gained independence from France, The Constitution of the Democratic Republic of Vietnam was established and allowed women to have equal rights.

Women did not become legal persons in Portugal until 1977. Women received full legal equality with Portuguese men as mandated by Portugal's constitution of 1977. Although Women were allowed to vote for the first time in Portugal in 1931 under Salazar's Estado Novo, but not on equal terms with men.

Sri Lanka has ratified the Convention on Elimination of all forms of Discrimination Against Women (CEDAW) in 1980.

Aniella ~ Jamaica 1919

2024-03-18 18:17:42 UTC

Because Jamaica was under the British crown, women gained rights around the same time in both countries. Although in Jamaica, women gained rights first but not full rights. While the male age to vote was 21 for men, women needed to wait until 25. This wasn’t the end because women still couldn’t be engaged in the governmental political process until 1944.

Women in Ukraine Generally got the right to vote on March 10 ,1919 but that only applies to the Communist West Ukraine but the East Ukraine which was under Poland got the right to vote earlier in November of 1918. But if are going to talk about actual election of presidents people got the right to vote in 1991.

After WWI, Malta gained more political independence from the European government, yet women had no role in parliament.

The Women Malta Association was introduced through a meeting for women. The meeting aimed to acquire sympathy in securing women in Malta with equal political rights to men.

Two main women of this association, Burns de Bono and Hélène Buhagiar, used the press to push for women's rights in politics and allowed their voices to obtain a place in the all-male National Assembly.

Their positions in parliament, and the state of disarray the country had after WWII lead to drafting the new 1947 constitution that allowed women to vote.

Women in Iraq gained the right to vote in 1980 and it was granted by Saddam Hussein. This significant milestone in Iraqi history marked a step towards political inclusivity and gender equality. The granting of voting rights to women was likely influenced by evolving social and political dynamics within Iraq during that period. However, it's essential to note that despite gaining the right to vote, women's participation in Iraqi politics and society has faced various challenges and obstacles over the years. The granting of suffrage in 1980 represented a crucial advancement towards greater gender equality and democratic representation in Iraq.

On September 17, 1937, women legally became persons in the Philippines. It was one of the first, major occasions in which women grouped together politically and it was one of the first women's right to attain the right for women to vote and run for office. However, many Filipino men were opposed to the idea, and held fast to the traditional view that a woman's place was cooking, cleaning and more. The males thought this was concerning and that the familial dynamic would destabilize if women were to formally step outside their customary role. But, not all Filipino men were opposed to the movement. President Manuel L. Quezon declared his favour towards the suffragette movement in a speech on September 30, 1936. So that for women, it was their opportunity to defend their rights to secure for themselves and those to follow them, their well-being and happiness.

Also, did you know the Philippines ranked 10th out of 145 countries for gender equality? Interesting!

The issue concerning women’s right to vote was brought to light by the early associations of the feminist movements right after the constitution of the unified Italian State. This pathway, after changing fortunes, ceased with the uprising of fascism. Women’s suffrage in Italy was finally introduced on the 1st of February 1945 because of a due right and was achieved by women participating in the struggle for liberation from fascism. On the 2nd of June 1946, the Italian women voted for the first time for the Institutional referendum (the choice between monarchy and republic) and for the constituent Assembly. 21 women were elected and took part in the drafting of the Italian Constitution. The women elected sustained the all-levels equality principle, obtaining important results mainly in regards to labour, wage, and protection of maternity rights.

During the late 1800s and early 1900s, women and women's organizations not only worked to gain the right to vote, they also worked for broad-based economic and political equality and for social reforms. Between 1880 and 1910, the number of women employed in the United States increased from 2.6 million to 7.8 million. Although women began to be employed in business and industry, the majority of better paying positions continued to go to men. At the turn of the century, 60 percent of all working women were employed as domestic servants. In the area of politics, women gained the right to control their earnings, own property, and, in the case of divorce, take custody of their children. By 1896, women had gained the right to vote in four states (Wyoming, Colorado, Idaho, and Utah).
