Today, in the United States....
Today, we celebrate Women's Equality Day, marking the certification of the 19th Amendment on August 26, 1920, which granted women the right to vote. This day reminds us of the ongoing fight for gender equality and the importance of the Equal Rights Amendment (ERA).
The ERA is crucial for:
-Equal Pay: Ensuring women receive equal pay for equal work.
-Reproductive Rights: Safeguarding women's control over their bodies, especially after Roe v. Wade.
-Overall Equality: Guaranteeing equal protection under the law for all, regardless of gender.
