The enfranchisement of women has been a pivotal aspect of global history, with significant milestones in Saudi Arabia, Sri Lanka, Thailand, and Europe. Saudi Arabia's 2011 decree allowed women to vote and run for office, with the first female municipal council members elected in 2015. Sri Lanka was a pioneer in Asia, granting women voting rights in 1931 and electing the first female Prime Minister in 1960. Thailand's women's suffrage dates back to 1897, and European countries have varied timelines, with Switzerland and Liechtenstein being among the last to grant these rights.
