0:01:00 > 0:01:08100 years since a change in the law gave women in the UK the right

0:01:09 > 0:01:11to vote in General Elections for the first time.

0:01:11 > 0:01:14They still didn't have the same voting rights as men,

0:01:14 > 0:01:16but it marked an important step towards equality.

0:01:16 > 0:01:17But what does equality mean?

0:01:17 > 0:01:20Let's hear what this lot think.

0:01:20 > 0:01:27It means if the boys can do it, you can as well.Equality to me means

0:01:27 > 0:01:29listening to everybody and valuing what they have to say, no matter who

0:01:29 > 0:01:34they are.My very favourite description of equality comes from

0:01:34 > 0:01:38an indigenous tribe in Latin America, where they say, are tribe

0:01:38 > 0:01:43is like an eagle. An eagle has two wings, one is male, one is female.

0:01:43 > 0:01:51Only when the two wings are equal with our tribe fly true.Equality to

0:01:51 > 0:01:55me means having equal rights between men and women or whatever gender you

0:01:55 > 0:02:00identify as.Equality is super important to me and it should be to

0:02:00 > 0:02:05all of you watching, the reason is, because we don't have it yet.If we

0:02:05 > 0:02:10don't consider the voices of half the world, we just miss out on the

0:02:10 > 0:02:17voices of half the population.I see it loads in school where girls can

0:02:17 > 0:02:22act the same as boys do the same things and they get personally

0:02:22 > 0:02:26attacked by boys and that's not cool.I think it's really important

0:02:26 > 0:02:32that we live in a society that is fair.To do lots of people are still

0:02:32 > 0:02:37fighting to have equality.We have a long way to go, but we are going in

0:02:37 > 0:02:38the right direction.

0:02:38 > 0:02:41Finally, you've heard of a catwalk, but how about a dog walk?

0:02:41 > 0:02:43Well, take a look at this.
