The Equal Rights Resolutions was based on similar documents found throughout other country’s history.
The Equal Rights Resolution is being brought before the United Nations in hopes of empowering women and defending their dignity. Sex has been used as a handicap of defining women as lesser among males. Sex has been used as a sole reason for not allow, not empowering – and most important, for ignoring. Sex is seen as a quality – depending on which sex it is – to either be valued or to be undervalue. Equality between the two is seen as lofty and unreasonable. Claims of such phases usually come from a side that benefits or sides that are accustomed to seeing themselves as less than equal.
Attitudes about sex have been engineered into legal systems and business worlds. Many of these systems carry on old habits to justify these prejudices. Mentalities of the proper role for either sex are written into laws, forced into legislation, and enforced by the law. These laws later shape polices and social institutes that continue to instruct seeing these old mentalities as valuable.
We, as countries, can attempt to gradually increase equality of women by one resolution at a time (Human Rights Resolution, Reproductive Freedom Resolution), or we can send a message of hope and accomplishment by saying any discrimination on the account of sex is erroneous. The individual character of women should be judge, not their biology.
Human dignity requires we honor all humans regardless of their biology, sexuality, or social standing. No person should be denied their rights because of who they are and what they have become.
Send a message of equality and opportunity to all by voting yes to the E.R.R.
