Gender Justice
Despite great strides that have been made by the Women’s Rights movement, gender bias still creates huge barriers for women. Women still face hiring and salary discrimination, harassment and violence, institutional barriers to education. In the workplace, women earn about 78 cents for every dollar that men earn, and black women earn about 64 cents for every dollar that white men earn.
Additionally, women constantly face attacks on their reproductive rights. Every woman has the right to safe and easy access to basic reproductive care. While these rights are protected by the Constitution, lawmakers want to turn back the hands of time and outlaw abortion and deny women access to reproductive care.
