Discussion 8

Suffrage, labor rights, and the equal rights amendment, all of this are related as woman are the one affected and bringing into light the inequality the live on. Women are the revolutionary everything and making progress otherwise everything will stay unseen. In the suffrage we took the first step to have a place in society to make women voice count, labor right and ERA looked for equality for women. Suffrage, labor right and equal rights amendment was all about making women visible in a society that made them invisible. A society that focusing more on gender than in humanity.

Labor right is also issues of gender justice because it only affects women. As they fight for labor right, they are also showing the power they have. The triangle Shirtwaist fire clearly represent this where major of the people who die were women and this is because they were the one getting over work and getting abuse as they didn’t have any power in society. It took the loose of many lives to gain a place in society but a place that still is not equal. In labor field is where we see the most discrimination, inequality, abuse and oppressions.

I will say these issues enacted today society as we still see unequal pay, women work still not recognize as it should and if we go world wise, we can see this issue even more evident example India where women’s either stay home to take care of the family or over work for cents. There still are places even in United State that have short wages, and this is clearly seen in the protest to increase minimum wage, or the unions that are being created to help workers. Even though women have made some progress in politic matters and in society we still don’t have the equality we deserve.
