It's not about only one city, state or country. It’s about the whole world; either USA, India, Canada or Australia. This high profile issue has nuanced debates taken up by political parties, activist groups, and the media.
Normally, when we talk about gender equality, we consider male and female only. We often forgot LGBT (lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender) community. Mostly, people don’t want to talk about these communities but they are also a part of the society.
USA is such a country in which we can see positive results in gender equality; not only between males and females rights but also in LGBT community.
There are various factors which play an important role to improve Gender Equality in the USA like education, exposure, entry in business or labor market etc.
The USA has made enormous steps since that first march in 1908: females won the privilege to vote, they make up about the portion of the workforce and they now gain a higher level of advanced educations as compared to the men, in addition to other things. Moreover, the lack of gender equality extends to females in positions of leadership in U.S. businesses as well.
If we take a look a few years back then there were no female CEOs of Fortune 500 organizations but in 2015, near about 26 women serving as CEOs of such companies that is 5.2 percent that is really a great achievement.
Not only this but also in LGBT Community, the most grounded extensions in LGBT rights in the United States have originated from the United States Supreme Court. In four landmark rulings between the years 1996 and 2015, the Supreme Court discredited a state law forbidding secured class acknowledgment in view of homosexuality, struck down homosexuality laws across the country, struck down Section 3 of the Defense of Marriage Act, and made same-sex marriage legitimate across the country.
We can see lots of improvement in gender equality in the USA but it's not the end it still needs lots of work. The struggle for gender equality is an ongoing battle. Join Peace First to put an end to gender inequality in the USA.
