വനിത സമ്മതിദാനം

അയൽ പ്രദേശമായ ദക്ഷിണ ഓസ്ട്രേലിയ 1895 ൽ വോട്ടവകാശത്തിനു പുറമെ മൽസരിക്കാനുള്ള അനുമതിയും സ്ത്രീകൾക്ക് നൽകി

റഷ്യൻ സാമ്രാജ്യത്തിനു കീഴിലായിരുന്ന ഫിൻലാൻഡാണ് വനിതാ സമ്മതിദാനാവകാശം നൽകിയ ആദ്യ യൂറോപ്യൻ രാജ്യം.1907ൽ സമ്മതിദാനാനുമതിയോടൊപ്പം വനിത പാർ ലമന്റ് അംഗങ്ങളെയും രാജ്യത്തിനു ലഭിച്ചു.

ഒന്നാം ലോക യുദ്ധത്തിനു ശേഷം വനിത സമ്മതിദാനത്തിനു പ്രചാരമേറിയെങ്കിലും 1944 മാത്രമാണ് ഫ്രാൻസും 1971ൽ സ്വിറ്റ്സർലാണ്ടൂം വനിതകളുടെ അവകാശം അനുവദിച്ചത്.
മിക്ക രാജ്യങ്ങളലും ഈ അവകാശം അനുവദിച്ചു കിട്ടാൻ അവകാശ സമരങ്ങൾ വേണ്ടീവന്നു. സ്തീകൾക്കെതിരിലുള്ള എല്ലാവിധ വിവേചനങ്ങളും അവസാനിപ്പിക്കുന്ന മാർഗ്ഗ നിർദ്ദേശങ്ങൾ(Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination Against Women,) ഐക്യരാഷ്ട്രസഭ 1979ൽ പുറത്തിറക്കി.ഇതിൽ സമ്മതി ദാനവകാശം കണിശമായി പ്രതിപാദിച്ചിരിക്കുന്നു.
