Women’s Rights Are Human Rights
Today, gender equality and reproductive freedom are under siege from radical partisans who seek to strip women across this nation of their rights – from bodily autonomy to economic opportunity. Gen-Z believes that every issue is a women issue. While America has made tremendous strides in expanding opportunities for women – there is still more we can do to expand economic opportunity, safeguard physical security, protect civil rights, ensure social equality, & break down the barriers that hold women back. That means:
- Codifying Roe v. Wade into law.
- Protecting a woman’s right to access safe & legal abortion.
- Ratifying the Equal Rights Amendment.
- Ensuring all survivors of sexual assault – regardless of gender – have access to mental health counseling and legal resources.
- Improving the access to & quality of postpartum care.
- Closing the gender pay gap by passing the Paycheck Fairness Act.
- Fighting back against far-right attempts to restrict access to quality, affordable reproductive health care.
- Standing with Planned Parenthood & the essential health and reproductive care they provide for women.
- Investing in women-owned small businesses.
- Ending discrimination against pregnant and nursing workers.
- Defending access to affordable contraception & preventive care.
- Expanding higher education opportunities for women in STEM careers.
- De-stigmatizing men’s mental health and sexual assault.
- Stopping campus sexual assault.
- Making quality, affordable universal childcare & pre-K a reality.
- Guaranteeing paid family leave.
- Ending violence against women by supporting survivors, ending the rape kit backlog, changing the culture that enables sexual violence, & confronting online harassment, abuse, and stalking.
