Women deserve equal pay. On average, they are paid less than their male counterparts. It effects their spending power and what women receive in their social security.

The 77 cent claim has been repeatedly refuted because it does not accommodate for the fact that women are more likely to choose lower paying jobs or jobs with benefits. Men on average work longer hours. Single, childless women in major cities earn more than men. Women obtain 58% of college degrees. Women are less likely to go into STEM jobs. Also statistics are easily manipulated. Watch TJ explain the wage gap https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KWAlg48fNwE

I definitely agree with this article. Even if some people like to think this isn't a problem it definitely is. For men and women in the same field regardless of what that field is men often get the higher income than women do. My mother is a major example of this and often talks about how the men in the same department as her make more money even when they produce less work that generally isn't that good. On top of that my mother works the same amount of hours and even more than average in a given week yet still doesn't come close to the pay gap. Of course, there may be inconsistency in statistics but it is definitely still an issue to be aware of because it still exists.

Article discusses ongoing study at UCSF about negative affects of women who are denied an abortion. Study shows that women who were denied abortion are more likely to be in abusive relationships, be impoverished, and are overall not faring as well as women who were able to obtain abortion.

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.

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.

Women's rights in the early 1900's and has made its way to equal rights. This article talks about the stages of the rights and how it has become where they are now.

The article explains many issues women face in equality today. The current issues range from women rights in the workplace to violence against women and shows what has been happen today in regards to the Women's Rights Movement.

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.

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.

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.

This website gives a great snapshot of the history of Women's Rights. All the way from 1848-1998.

I enjoyed reading this article and learning more about how women had to fight so hard to be treated with the same respected, or to get paid the same as man do. It's crazy to think how far they have gotten.

This site focuses on the right to life and also the right for women to express that right. This article goes over factual evidence of the impact "choice" is making on young girls today.

This document identifies the struggles of women in the middle east and north Africa as well as the struggles they go through everyday. You'd think we'd be more worried about this as a country seeing how "equal rights" driven we are.

It is sad to see that in some countries women still do not have rights, or that their rights are very limited.

This is very interesting to be honest I had no idea that women were not being given equal rights in other places.

Starting with Eleanor Roosevelt movement women have came along way, we see how much women had to suffer to get where they are today. Women had to fight for the same rights men had when it comes to pay or education. They still face issues with being treated unfairly today, such as certain job where men say that some work isn't for a women but only for men to do.

Eleanor Roosevelt was a good lady and deserves a lot of credit for what she did for the women of America.

Women who breastfeed their children have the right to breastfeed in public. Some states like California protect their right to not be harrassed while doing so. Other states don't have laws that protect breastfeeding mothers right to breastfeed in public. Breastfeeding is shamed on but when breast are seen everywhere else nothing is said.

It is one of the most important things to do for a child. I find it disturbing that some people go off on them and say that it looks gross. People have a problem with it because they think they are exposing themselves, They kind of are but they have a reason to do it which is for breast feeding. What would they do if they had a child and had to breast feed? I think they might change their mind a little bit.

It really irritates me when I hear that people are so against breast feeding in public. The whole point of it is to feed the baby and give it nourishment that the baby will not get from formula. I am sure the mother does not do it with intentions to expose themselves. Sometimes what needs to be done as to be done and people must deal with it.

Applied to marriage, assuming what's not true, that marriage between two men offends me, it's not the government's role on any level to protect me from being offended. Whatever one thinks of marriage between two men or two women, the argument that such a union negatively impacts those who aren't gay, or those who blanch at marriage between gay people is not compelling. Here's hoping we don't stop at marriage in expanding individual rights, rights that are natural, and that should exist free of political or voter influence.

Why are Black women over 3 times more likely to obtain an abortion than White women? Even though African Americans are only 12.6% of the population, they received 30% of the 1.2 million abortions in 2008 (latest available statistics), killing 360,000 Black babies at a rate of nearly 1,000 per day.

This article goes over why black women are 3 times more likely to have an abortion. In addition to that, it goes over why Planned Parenthood's are strategically place in black poverty neighborhoods.

The U.S. Roman Catholic bishops issued a pastoral letter that would criticize abortion and end the disgrace of having an abortion under law.

My mother was born to an unwed 15 year old in 1940. My mother was given away in adoption to a family member. My grandmother wanted to have my mom (she had fallen in love with a service man who was killed in German) but her mom wanted her to have an abortion. It was illegal in those days and my grandmother refused to go to the "special doctor." So she was shipped away to a home for girls like her in Chicago to have my mom. My story is different then most. I am a product of a saved baby. Without my grandmother fighting for my mom, myself, my brother, my children, we would be dead. It is harder to speak to a child that survived abortion. No one has the right to tell me that we do not have the right to live. I am so grateful that abortion was illegal. I am so grateful that my beautiful children are alive.We are blessed.

Whenever this issue comes up one thing always pops into my head. My body, my choice. I am a female that was born and raised in the Catholic church and had to listen to this stuff for years. It never made sense to me why so many people try revoking this right from women. If you don't support it, fine. However, to take the option away from women who do want abortion as an option opens up even more negative doors. When women do not have a safe environment to discuss these options and the operation itself is made illegal then women who are desperate are more likely to go to back alley doctors or try to perform their own abortion. This often leads to more deaths among women whether it be from a botched, cheap operation or a horrific infection. It should also be noted that each woman is different. They might want the option of abortion for various reasons. Perhaps something is wrong with the child, and the doctors note it won't live past a couple of days, maybe the woman was raped and ended up pregnant, perhaps the fetus was dying and was also killing the mother, perhaps the woman just doesn't want children. You never know the circumstances of why a woman chooses to have an abortion, and they should never be judged for it or have that right revoked.

This article questions whether women's rights have come full circle. The author focuses on pregnancy in the work-place.

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.

The IRC (International Rescue Committee) is seriously concerned about females rights in Afghanistan. Females should be able to work, go to school, and move freely. As of August 2021, the response plan funding for women and girls has drastically diminished making them more prone to violence, child labor, and forced marriages. Since international support has slowly been fading away, almost 1 million children will miss out on education.

Despite the article referring to women and young girls distinctly why choose to rename your bookmark and pointedly refer to them as females rather than as the article intends? Your article covers rather dehumanizing issues so it strikes me as odd that out of all this your choice was to choose a word you could apply to any non human mammal rather than the women of Afghanistan. Did you not think that the article used the language "women and girls" for the reason of both humanization and to clarify that perhaps the rights of a female mammal weren't at stake here but the human population that happens to be female?

The article goes over women's rights to choose. Pro choice and how society does not have the right to tell a woman what to do with her body.

This article tackles the gender bias topic in the workplace. They made the video to show the dramatic differences in the way men and women are viewed for the same characteristics or behaviors.

It's really sad to see the difference in how men and women are treated in the work place. Women are viewed differently because of their gender and not by the job that they perform.

Reading this shows how sad the equality is between men and women. It bases it off of gender instead of performance which is not right at all, especially with the women.

In this article, the author discusses how gender discrimination in India effects not only he women themselves but the whole country. Special attention has been focused on the treatment of women in India within the past few years, and the country has had to make some changes, but the inequality between men and women within the country is still far from abolished.

This article discusses the shared and unshared views about female discrimination in the workplace between men and women. Around one-third of todays' working women admit to have experienced some form of discrimination within their work place, and statistics show that there is a large lack of balance when it comes to how many men and how many women hold the highest jobs within the country.
