Suffrage, labor rights, and the equal rights amendment are related that the three tie in with each other. All three deal with people fighting for their rights and what they believe is right. Suffrage was the struggle for the right of women to vote and run for office. This reform movement aimed at expanding these rights to women without any limitation or degree such as poverty ownership, payment of tax, etc. The equal rights amendment was to provide legal equality and prohibit discrimination based on gender. Labor rights grew out of the need to protect the common interest of workers.

Labor rights are also gender justice because women weren’t getting paid as much as men. There is uneven access to education where women still have less access to education than men. One of the causes of gender inequality in employment is the division of jobs. That men are more capable of handling certain jobs that women can not handle. According to the reading, “Virginia Just Became the 38th state to pass the Equal Rights Amendment. Here’s What to know about the history of the ERA” mentioned that, “Working women at the time were focused on gaining workplace protections for women and children, and some were concerned that an Equal Rights Amendment would endanger laws that made factories safer and limited of the number of houses women could work” (pg2). In this case, women and children were demanding better workplace protection because some of the workplaces were not safe for women and children to work in.

In today’s society, I would say I do see that on construction sites the majority of the people working there are men. Knowing that a majority of women want to join and work at a construction site because they know that they got the skills to be able to work there but there is always this thing where they feel like construction is just for men and not for women to work in. As well in supermarkets, you can see that the only people who take over as cashiers are women. I have heard that women are supposed to just work as cashiers. It’s just this thing in today’s society that the positions in a job do go with what your identity is. If you’re female or male you are told that you would fit for this job because you’re female or male. There is also another issue in today’s society about abortion. This abortion ban, I think this is a really big problem in today’s world where a woman can’t do anything they won’t feel like they have the freedom its like they are taken away something that women depend on. If a woman decides to abort her child it’s her choice.
