    Since 1972 the ACLU has been working to secure gender equality and ensure that all women and girls are able to lead lives of dignity, free from violence and discrimination, including discrimination based on gender stereotypes.

    This link shows everything wrong with our world right now. I am constantly outraged by the wage gap, and how employers are allowed to get away with it. It blows my mind that so many people claim that men and women are CURRENTLY treated the same way, when clearly they are not. p.s i actually book marked this link on my computer, that way i can send it to anyone who disagrees.

    This has been an ongoing issue for us women since day one. inequality in employment, wages and opportunities is extremely unjust. I think the more its brought to the surface and the more we show we still haven't forgotten, we will eventually get somewhere. Just like when we all came together for women's rights on inauguration day :)

    Women's right are changing. Women's need equal opportunities in workplace and education. This link is showing us how unfair is society with females. Hopefully in the future everybody is going to be equal and we will have the same opportunities.

    It seems that for all of the changes that have been made, a lot still needs to be done. There is no excuse for our country or any other country to still be dealing with unequal rights for women. The violence is disgusting, as well as discrimination and unequal pay. Thank you for sharing.

    As a woman, I believe we have definitely come a long way. However, I believe we are not completely equal to males yet, which we should be. More changes need to be done.
  • taylorlray on 30 Jan 17
     
    The fact that women and other people in our country and other countries have to even fight to be equal is disgusting. We are all the same and deserve to be treated the same. The fight must continue.

    It is crazy to think that in 2017 that we as humans can't treat one another the same as you would want to be treated yourself. I am not a woman but I do have a wife and daughter that I would hate/despise if they were treated any less than myself for any reason.

    A listicle of sorts that defines woman's rights, as well as lists current events surrounding the issue. This site also provides statistics regarding the inequalities woman face in areas such as a work environment, education, and in the criminal justice sector. There are also links to sites that help to eliminate gender inequality.

    The effort to secure equal rights for women and to remove gender discrimination from laws, institutions, and behavioral patterns. The women's rights movement began in the nineteenth century with the demand by some women reformers for the right to vote, known as suffrage, and for the same legal rights as men.

    This article talks about women's rights across the world. The article lists countries who rank the highest and countries who rank the lowest. The United States surprisingly falls lower than expected. No country is ranked a perfect 100% but there are countries who come close, USA not being one of them.
  • dan2195433 on 07 Sep 20
     
    Such a shame from a country that widely considers itself advocates for equal rights. There are many of us that recognize this same concept, that being gender inequalities and pay gaps still exist, and advocate for that to be abolished. With the recent advances in how sensitive our society is regarding social issues, how long is this really going to take? One would think that we, as a culture of the U.S., would have already arrived to a point of true gender equality.
  • ayeager7152 on 08 Sep 20
     
    This is a very interesting article. I knew there is a significant pay gap within the U.S. and was honestly surprised to see it so high up. As someone else said, it certainly is a shame that we are so low yet consider the US to be one of the most progressive countries with social issues.

    As much as our women's rights laws have changed in the past years,other countries have not come as far. Some countries,however,are moving small strides towards better days for women. Lebanon's parliament has repealed their "rape law" which allows rapists to escape imprisonment if they marry their victim. Passing the law is just the first step though,applying the law is going to take time and effort.
  • jazmar on 04 Sep 17
     
    This article was quite informative and tragic to read, seeing as women are still being treated as less in other countries. While the United States harbors its own cases of gender inequality, women in other countries are faced with injustices they cannot fight on behalf of misogynistic views. While feminism has grown largely within the United States, it seems to lack intersectionalism, which excludes the rights of women in countries ran by a patriarch. I think that this article displays the wrong in the world that can be acknowledged by men women, feminists and non-feminists.

    Laws that restrict abortion have the effect and purpose of preventing a woman from exercising any of her human rights. The abortion-rights debate is commonly misunderstood, with advocates on both sides attributing false motives to many good, deeply conscientious people. Denying women access to abortion is a form of gender discrimination.

    I still cannot believe that in Texas its legal now after 6 weeks, I do not think a man should have a opinion on a women's body at all!
  • abicast2346 on 08 Sep 21
     
    I like how this article used their own experience of feeling different towards the argument int the past to help boost their side. But I completely agree that men should not have an opinion on a woman's body, but also if they do have an issue with abortion then they need to take preventing unwanted pregnancies more seriously!
  • azychandler1998 on 09 Sep 21
     
    This is the most common social issue that I see brought up/discussed. The author is this article did a great job including her own personal experiences with abortion laws. Unlike a lot of the articles on the topic, it was not cut and dry full of laws and instead replaced with actual opinions/experiences. I see this topic coming up more especially as Texas recently passed a law that woman would not be able to receive abortions past 6 weeks of fetus age.

    After looking at this article, it is clear to me to see what side the author is on, although she tries to be incognito with it. She, of course, shames the Womens March, and obviously is on the Pro-Life side of the spectrum. What people don't realize is, the women's march wasn't all about abortion and trump, it was standing up for other things.

    This is a very sad topic, i think everyone should be able to get maternity leave no matter the standards because there is nothing more beautiful than seeing a mother and father so happy with their new born baby. I believe that people should have longer maternity leave.
  • tay2171950 on 29 Jan 18
     
    I think everyone should be able to have maternity leave because its important for the mother and father to be with their baby. I think they should also be paid while taking this time off because they still need to be able to support the child and that cant be done if they are not making money.

    With the evidence that researchers have uncovered within their study on new mothers; these findings can be very alarming. Especially, the diagnose of postpartum depression. This is great evidence that can support this continuous debate.

    Pregnancy is the most beautiful thing a mother can experience, but at the same the most painful. With maternity leave mothers and fathers can have that time to recover and get back to their daily routines.
  • mig2146362 on 30 Jan 18
     
    My wife gave birth to our daughter back in August, she is a school teacher and it's very heartbreaking to know that current practices in the state of Arizona have defined pregnancy as a "short term disability." True there are aspects that are disabling, but the definition itself is what removes the obligation of the state to pay for leave, instead leaving woman in the education sector to pay for supplemental health care as current healthcare for public workers does not support pregnancy. At least in our case, I'm sure there are very rare exceptions.
  • jaz2153385 on 30 Jan 18
     
    The U.S. needs to recognize that mothers need way more time than they actually get for maternity leave! Giving birth is such a beautiful but extremely painful and tiring/draining thing that women need time to recuperate from.
  • dav2249597 on 30 Jan 18
     
    I believe in maternity leave in just about any work place. The mother gets it rough and the thought of not getting paid maternity leave just stinks. I also believe that husbands should get maternity leave. Like, what if the mother has a higher paid job, and it is the dad that stays home?

    With the USA coming in last in maternity leave rights, Rita Ruben talks about the injustice the work place creates by not giving mothers the time and money they need to welcome their newest member of their families. Some countries even offer paid paternity leave, but in the USA, FMLA only saves your job as a mother. No pay or fathers allowed.

  • cla2175938 on 04 Sep 18
     
    I think the author made a very important comment by saying, "The mother's mental and physical health can be an important route through which infants are affected by parents' employment decisions." I totally agree with this. How can we ignore our health after having a baby. I have 5 children and I was fortunate enough to not have to work. I was able to stay home and heal, and most importantly bond with my baby. I recovered well post child birth, and I was able to be the best mother I could be to my children.
  • alannahmattal on 07 Sep 18
     
    This is a huge social injustice towards the mothers who have just given birth. Making maternity leave as a paid family leave is wrong because the mothers have to later make up all the time they took off to care for their newborn, which can be months.
  • kay2152202 on 01 Sep 19
     
    I think new moms definitely get the shaft when it comes to maternity leave. Just watching people in my life have their kids, and the struggles that can come after besides adjusting to new life I think it is a complete injustice that new moms don't have the option to have more paid time, separate from their regular PTO.
  • julianaramirez on 02 Sep 19
     
    It's truly heartbreaking to think about the struggles that many mothers have to face. They were just introduced to motherhood and already have to worry about not being able to have the time or money that is deserved. Most of all, the time needed to recover post birth.
  • seanburns89 on 02 Sep 19
     
    I think that maternity leave is vitally important for a mother and her child. However, what about fathers the child is just as much theirs yet little to no maternity leave is given. Usually if they take the time off for the birth of the child it comes out of their paid time off if they would like an extended amount of time.
  • dev2154967 on 03 Sep 19
     
    The United States definitely falls behind compared to most modernized countries in-regards to this. The fact that studies show much higher results for emotional bonding between parents, and the retention of employees for the company they're employed for, when giving maternal/paternal leave. I understand the reason why it's difficult for many American businesses to be competitive to some European industries that can have months off at a time for this, but even a couple paid weeks may make all the difference at a minimum for both parents, to adapt, and prepare for their new schedule/lives.
  • smileyamber08 on 03 Sep 19
     
    I feel like every women should be guaranteed paid maternity leave. The government constantly wants us to re produce to keep the world going, so they should encourage women that they'll be fine with money and won't have to worry about missing work.
  • and2181940 on 03 Sep 19
     
    Maternity leave should be a MUST. Pregnancy is tough and the delivery is life changing. Mother's go through all different kinds of changes. It is unfair for a mother to have to go through these changes all while worrying about having to go to work and missing and wondering how her child might be doing.
