What are the barriers to full legal equality for women in the US?
Women have made great progress in the fight for legal equality. However, women continue to face legal discrimination and attacks on their fundamental human rights including reproductive justice, marriage equality and its alternatives, and sexual liberty.
Join us to hear about the forces driving these inequalities and what can and needs to be done.
This event is open to all people of all gender identities and expressions. All are welcome!
What You’ll Learn:
- How, in 2019, U.S. law does not grant equal protection to women’s rights
- What are the opportunities to achieve gender equality in our legal system
- Strategies to promote and advocate for women’s rights, even if you’re not a legal expert
- Career opportunities for women working in legal equality
- The role male allies play in supporting equal rights
