Persons Day is a special day celebrated in Canada on October 18th. It marks the day in 1929 when women were legally recognized as "persons" in Canada, meaning they could finally be appointed to the Senate and have more equal rights. Before this, women were not considered "persons" under the law, which limited their rights and roles in government. Five brave women, known as the Famous Five, fought hard to change this. Persons Day reminds us of the importance of equality and how people can work together to make the world a fairer place for everyone.
