PinkWave envisions a world where women and gender non-conforming people of all races, backgrounds, religions, and abilities are treated equitably in every facet of society.
The Equal Rights Amendment (ERA) would enshrine gender equality in the U.S. Constitution, guaranteeing that rights cannot be denied or abridged based on sex. This would:
Protect Abortion Rights: By affirming gender equality, the ERA would strengthen legal arguments that restricting abortion violates women's rights to bodily autonomy and equal treatment under the law.
Ensure Equal Pay: It would provide a constitutional basis to challenge wage discrimination, ensuring equal pay for equal work regardless of gender.
Advance Gender Parity: The ERA would mandate equality in laws and policies affecting education, employment, healthcare, and more, creating a legal framework for combating systemic inequities and ensuring fair treatment in all aspects of life.
By embedding these protections in the Constitution, the ERA would hold all levels of government accountable for upholding gender equality.
