| Equal
Rights Advocates has led the legal fight for women’s equality for more than 30 years. Since 1974, ERA’s mission has been to protect and secure equal rights and economic opportunities for women and girls through litigation and advocacy.
Until equality
is secured for all
Real progress has been made in recent decades toward securing equal rights for women. But women and girls continue to face unfair practices and policies in many workplaces and schools. Women in minimum wage jobs, women of color, and immigrant women are often among the most affected by this discrimination, which comes in many forms. Women are denied equal rights when they are:
- Paid less than men for the same or comparable work
- Denied promotions and training opportunities
- Shut out of high paying jobs and occupations
- Subjected to sexual harassment
- Penalized for taking time off to care for their families
ERA works to eliminate these forms of gender discrimination so all women can realize their full potential. |
| Advice and Counseling Hotline
Free, discreet, individualized advice is available if you are facing:
- Sex discrimination
- Sexual harassment at work or at school
- Pregnancy discrimination
- Problems with family/medical leave
If you have a question about your legal rights, call
the Hotline, or review ERA’s Know Your Rights brochures for information on the legal aspects of your situation. |
