REFLECTION 7

We honestly didn’t need a tragedy and loss like Triangle Shirtwaist to happen so we can make changes in-laws. We didn’t need to lose hundreds of women from Bangladesh to New York to finally create laws that can protect people and women in the workplace. The fact that these 500 immigrant women used to work more than 12 hours a day is brutal. These billions of dollars companies owners were only worrying about if their employees would steal something from the building and actually close all doors. Women’s rights were at the lowest level. People got killed for speaking about their rights. It is true that both incidents made a huge change, especially in America, but if there had been controlled and necessary care, nothing would happen. I still can’t believe that women throw themselves just so their families can have their bodies, and these women did not know how to speak English. Women must get the most attention because they are the center of everything. There are still countries where women are still fighting for equality. The ERA “Equal Rights Amendment was strongly built to protect women. Women deserve the right to vote, the right to have their own public space, and have the same exact rights as men have. The ERA can lead to a better future where there is no such thing as superiority.
