Discussion 8 Dashira

Suffrage, labor rights and the equal rights ammendment are related. Suffrage is the right to vote in political elections. Labor rights, often known as workers’ rights, are legal and human rights that pertain to labor relations between employees and employers. These rights are established in both domestic and international labor and employment legislation. In general, these rights have an impact on working conditions in employment environment.The Equal Rights Amendment is a constitutional amendment to the United States Constitution that would ensure that all American citizens, regardless of gender, have equal legal rights. In my opinion they all have something in common and that is that is some kind of right for the people, even though they’re different they all tie together and are similar.Labor rights have to do with working conditions, child labor and also discrimination is part of that too. Gender equality, is the process of gaining equal access to resources and opportunities, including economic empowerment and decision-making, regardless of gender; and the state of equally valuing different behaviors, aspirations, and needs, regardless of gender.Gender justice is ending the inequalities between women and men that was built in our society.That also includes unequal treatment, including privilege and priority, on the basis of gender. In today’s society equalities and equal rights is still an issue since I work in a retail store I can speak a little bit on it. when it comes to equal rights we as workers don’t have the same rights as managers. Sometimes there is a bit of discrimination. There’s also favoritism at my work place. The only difference from back in the day’s society with today’s society is you can speak up and have justice and change the issue. But back in the day you would have to protest and fight for your rights. In the video “Triangle returns” that’s an example of labor rights this was a tragedy due to that work places can no longer have exits blocked and many more safety precautions. Also over working workers is part of being able to have labor rights, working 6 days a week and only having one day off isn’t right. Minimum wage is also a part of the issue.

    I like how you said that gender justice is about equality between men and women, and not women dictatorship. I believe women don’t want to move backwards and instead progress to being treated how the average man is, especially in the workplace. It is definitely true that the only difference between before and now is we can speak more freely on these issues, but it doesn’t mean there’s not more that needs to be changed. Women deserve the same privilege and treatment as our male co workers!
