今天是缅尼吐巴省女性获得投票权100周年纪念日，总理杜鲁多发表声明庆祝。

缅尼吐巴省是加拿大第一个获得投票权的省份。

杜鲁多在声明中说：“这个胜利对塑造我们熟悉和热爱的加拿大起了重要的作用。包容、平等和尊重是我们的身份和我们坚持的原则的一部分。我们在性别平等方面取得了进步，但还有很多工作要做。我们知道，在加拿大，在世界各地仍有太多的女性，仍遭受歧视。“

他还在声明中说：“这些争取投票权的女性是先锋，她们至今激励着我们——所有加拿大人，不管是女性还是男性都应该自豪地称自己为女权主义者。我们继续承诺提升性别平等，从而令我们社会中所有女性和女孩都能发挥她们的潜力。”

The Prime Minister, Justin Trudeau, today issued the following statement on the 100th anniversary of Manitoba becoming the first Canadian province to grant women the right to vote:

“Today, we celebrate a very special anniversary in our country’s history: exactly 100 years ago, women in Manitoba became the first women in Canada to gain the right to vote.

“This victory played a crucial role in shaping the Canada we know and love – a Canada where acceptance, equality, and respect are integral parts of who we are and what we stand for. While we have made progress towards gender equality, we still have a lot of hard work to do. We know that far too many women in Canada – and around the world – continue to face discrimination.

“These brave suffragettes led by example then, and they continue to inspire us now – all Canadians, women and men alike, should be proud to call themselves feminists. We remain committed to advancing gender equality so that our society is one where all women and girls can reach their full potential.

“Together, we can, and will, continue to push for true equality between men and women, right here in Canada and around the world.”
