One of the questions I’m frequently asked is, “What single action can we take as a society to improve the status of women in regards to reducing sexual assault, improving prosecution of offenders, and improving the overall status of women?” I have an answer, though there are many paths to this goal. 1) Training law enforcement, including line officers, to understand basics of sexual trauma, 2) boosting research to decrease victim stigma, thereby increasing reporting, 3) continuing to pass laws preventing women’s sexual behavior from being on trial, 4) helping prosecution understand that explaining neuroscience to juries will support convictions, 5) educating middle and high school students on consent and trauma… the list goes on and on. I provide many of these in the forms of consultation, training, and public speaking. What I can’t do alone is the one task that will immediately elevate women to the status of men in one important, legal swoop. The only way to achieve this is by having all women in the U.S. declared constitutionally equal to men in the form of the passage of the Equal Rights Amendment (ERA). Most people believe this happened already, many years ago. They are wrong. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b903cd9c258b4b6e1495eae/1540592824795-GMPKALWBKC02V65UNDHP/150325112724-12-era-history-super-169+-+Copy.jpg Blog - Equal Rights Amendment (ERA) - What Can we do? - “Equality of rights under the law shall not be denied or abridged by the United States or by any state on account of sex.” https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b903cd9c258b4b6e1495eae/1540592410764-2SRYNYMRYLX6G23E7R6W/era+-+Copy.jpg Blog - Equal Rights Amendment (ERA) - What Can we do? Women continue to be second-class citizens. Despite passage of other acts designed to address pieces of equality, such as equal pay, all women in the U.S. continue to be, legally, lesser than men. You can help change this, and I’ll provide some information on how you can support ERA at the end of this post. I thought, though, that having a solid overview of the history of the ERA and where it currently stands in this month’s post would help to educate the public on this incredibly important issue facing American women today. While the calendar reads 2018, it sometimes feels as though we’ve traveled backward in time in regard to women’s rights. In light of the onslaught of recent events that threaten any semblance of American gender equality, it’s more than relevant to discuss the Equal Rights Amendment (ERA). In the early 1900s, women began to enter the American workforce. This newfound cultural shift created a movement; the American Woman Suffrage Association and the National Woman’s Party lobbied to pass the 19thAmendment, which would give women the right to vote. In 1920, the amendment passed by a single vote, fueling suffragists to work toward further constitutional equality. In 1923, Alice Paul brought forth a nascent version of the ERA, which she dubbed the Lucretia Mott Amendment. Opponents feared it might be detrimental to women’s labor laws, so the amendment failed. In 1943, Alice Paul rewrote the amendment to simply state, https://saawareness.com/blog/category/Training monthly 0.5 https://saawareness.com/blog/category/abortion monthly 0.5 https://saawareness.com/blog/category/abuse monthly 0.5 https://saawareness.com/blog/category/Rape+Culture monthly 0.5 https://saawareness.com/blog/category/Sexual+Violence monthly 0.5 https://saawareness.com/blog/category/arousal monthly 0.5 https://saawareness.com/blog/tag/pro-choice monthly 0.5 https://saawareness.com/blog/tag/abortion monthly 0.5 https://saawareness.com/blog/tag/sexual+assault monthly 0.5 https://saawareness.com/blog/tag/Law+Enforcement monthly 0.5 https://saawareness.com/blog/tag/pro-life monthly 0.5 https://saawareness.com/blog/tag/arousal monthly 0.5 https://saawareness.com/blog/tag/SAA+Training monthly 0.5 https://saawareness.com/testimonials-andrew-pari-san-diego daily 0.75 2023-02-27 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b903cd9c258b4b6e1495eae/1646358542260-3BYJUIEGAQ3W98RJ8CGZ/Home+Page+%287%29.jpg Testimonials https://saawareness.com/andrew-pari-san-diego daily 0.75 2023-02-27 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b903cd9c258b4b6e1495eae/1565822499839-UI50JO7WE4HBL7OS7N3M/Sexual+Assault+Expert+Andrew+Pari About Andrew https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b903cd9c258b4b6e1495eae/1555474448673-R6SOQS2QCEEAD3FKUN43/56358425_435250263891095_1628206579901792256_o.jpg About Andrew https://saawareness.com/sex-therapy-san-diego daily 1.0 2023-09-19 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b903cd9c258b4b6e1495eae/1677458080668-4HP1P3Z7MITHUCNDXT54/Sexual%2BAssault.jpg Home https://saawareness.com/sexual-recovery-san-diego daily 0.75 2023-02-27 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b903cd9c258b4b6e1495eae/1642476277045-1FCQ4VCUXTR7ZHW51G81/Sexual+Assault.jpg Sexual Healing Therapy https://saawareness.com/kink-therapy-san-diego daily 0.75 2023-02-27 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b903cd9c258b4b6e1495eae/1642478837986-JYCMKWZPGDH4AVE64IZU/Kink-Healing+Aftercare.jpg Kink Healing Therapy https://saawareness.com/sex-worker-san-diego daily 0.75 2023-02-27 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b903cd9c258b4b6e1495eae/1643255676877-CKLDAYW97J1UBISMMPIB/Sex+Work1.jpg Sex Worker Support Therapy https://saawareness.com/sexual-awareness-awakening-san-diego daily 0.75 2023-02-27 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52a74d9ae4b0253945d2aee9/1390597413198-XUEB2J3138YBEXDCIMC0/tumblr_migjb4LxOB1rkz363o2_1280.jpg I'm Ready! https://saawareness.com/media-andrew-pari-san-diego daily 0.75 2023-02-27 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b903cd9c258b4b6e1495eae/1646358253971-2L0EE3IUUEG6JAFTCDHB/Home+Page+%287%29.jpg Media https://saawareness.com/service-fees-policies daily 0.75 2025-05-22
