How are suffrage, labor rights, and the equal rights amendment related?
suffrage , labor right, and the equal rights amendment are related because it’s about humans having the same right and equality as a person, because of people not making it easy for other just because of their gender it lead the women’s suffrage movement that was a decades-long fight to win the right to vote for women in the United States. It took activists and reformers nearly 100 years to win that right, and the campaign was not easy at all. The labor rights was to protect the rights of the workers to be treated equally and fairly without any injustice but to be giving the payment they deserved, while the equal right was all about women and men being treated equally and not to generize them because of their gender.
How/why are labor rights also issues of gender justice?
Because women make a part of the economic and social fabric that hold their communities together, but yet their work is rarely valued at the same level as is men’s work. And this is due to the less opportunities they have as men. Women are disproportionately likely to be poor, under-educated, employed in low-wage or unpaid work, .In many companies, female workers are sometimes denied their rights to regular pay and regular working hours; equal pay for equal work; permanent contracts; safety and freedom of association. They are even sometimes abuses, including sexual violence, harassment in their workplace making them not feel safe.
How do you see these historical issues enacted in today’s society?
It is much more better in today’s society because now there’s law that protect those right and equals, but however it is still a problem because soem women do not feel same at all i their workplace and they still facing not giving the same opportinies as men such as better position at work just because they are women and some workplace still have the mindset of men can do it better, and use the excuse as women can’t be professional because they are emotional.
“Because women make a part of the economic and social fabric that hold their communities together, but yet their work is rarely valued at the same level as is men’s work.” Well said! And let’s not forget about the global reach of capitalism and women’s work in other countries!
