With renewed attention on anti-discrimination policies following the #MeToo movement and a record number of women serving in Congress, a nearly century-long effort to explicitly enshrine gender equality in the United States constitution may finally be coming to a head.
If the Equal Rights Amendment (ERA) were incorporated into America’s founding document, it would represent a huge victory for women and people across the gender spectrum, whose fundamental rights are too often tied to partisan disagreements.
But amid legal controversies, disingenuous talking points and a chronic lack of urgency, the landmark amendment still faces an uphill battle.
âItâs outrageous â a scandal, quite frankly â that women still have to be in the begging position for their rights,â said Carol Jenkins, president and chief executive of the ERA Coalition and the Fund for Womenâs Equality.
First drafted in 1923 and revised over the years, the proposed article is a constitutional guarantee that the âequality of rights under the law shall not be denied or abridged by the United States or by any State on account of sexâ. It would also give Congress the power to enforce gender equality through legislation, and would take effect two years after ratification.
