VOTES FOR WOMEN

When we think of women who have led the way, we often think of people such as Marie Curie, the first woman to win the Nobel Prize, or Amelia Earhart, the first woman to fly alone across the Atlantic Ocean. But there are also times in history when women have worked together to improve the lives of other women.

This happened in the Victorian era, when women in Britain started to fight for their right to vote. Before 1918, women were not allowed to vote. From around the 1860s, groups of women started to come together to organise activities and talk about helping women to get the right to vote. In 1903, Emmeline Pankhurst set up the Women’s Social and Political Union, or WSPU. The WSPU made speeches, wrote in newspapers, and demonstrated on the streets smashing windows and setting buildings on fire. However, during World War I, the WSPU stopped their attacks and supported the government. As men were away fighting in the war, women took on many jobs that men used to do, like police officers and bus drivers. In these jobs, women showed everyone they were equal to men.

In 1918, the government finally gave women over 30 the right to vote for the first time. It was an important step in the fight for equality for women in society. However, it wasn't until ten years later, in 1928, that all women over 21 could vote as men could.

WORKING HARD TO HELP

The Association in Support of Vietnamese Handicapped and Orphans (ASVHO) is anorganisation that works to make the lives of orphans (children without parents) and disabled people in Vietnam better. Started in 1992, ASVHO helps these people with medical treatments, transport and places to live. Over the years, ASVHO has raised money and provided support to these people. This support includes providing important surgery and buying wheelchairs for disabled people. The organisation also donates bicycles to orphans and gives financial support for their education. One of ASVHO’s goals is to help these people live as independently as possible. It achieves this by creating housing communities and offering training that can lead to job opportunities.

ASVHO works with the Vietnamese government to protect the rights of the disabled and orphans as well as create policies that help improve their quality of life. Every year, it organises events for them to show their talents and develop their skills. These events encourage disabled people and orphans to be part of the community. One popular event is a singing competition where disabled people from all over Vietnam compete, and the best performers receive medals. Another successful event is the Vietnam Disabled People’s Day which improves understanding across the country of the problems disabled people face. The work of ASVHO is an important support to the disabled and orphan community. For more information, visit asvho.vn.
