👩🏫 The courage of women who came before us helped transform society. Thanks to generations of changemakers who campaigned before we were born, today we have the right to vote, greater access to education, stronger workplace protections, improved legal rights, and increased opportunities to participate in public and political life.
These achievements deserve to be celebrated.
But past progress does not mean the journey is complete.
People of marginalized genders continue to experience challenges including gender-based violence, misogyny and transmisogyny, the gender pay gap, underrepresentation in leadership, discrimination, healthcare inequalities, period poverty, online abuse, and the unequal burden of unpaid care.
By looking at these issues through the lens of history, we can better understand how far we've come, recognise the work of those who fought before us, and consider what still needs to change.
📖 Understanding history – particularly the history of how rights were won – helps us build a fairer future. Join us as we work together to learn the stories, share the histories, and start even more inspiring conversations!
At Protests and Suffragettes, we’ve worked for years to develop these resources on Scotland’s Suffrage History, partnering with preeminent scholars and community groups to research women who campaigned across the country. These amazing activists are featured in our dynamic, robustly researched educational resources – including our Suffragette Card Game!
