On July 2nd, 1965 a government agency named the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission was established. This agency ensured equality of opportunity by enforcing the prohibition in employment. The EEOC was created by the Civil Rights  Act of 1964 due to racial discrimination and segregation exposed during the 1960’s. This happened due to riots in the streets in of Birmingham, Alabama and other southern cities in America. The Equal Pay Act of 1963 connects to the EEOC because it protests men and women who perform the same job, yet there is sex-based wage discrimination. The Equal Pay Act and the EEOC both worked against discrimination at work. In the image president, Lyndon B. Johnson is signing a document to establish the EEOC. This image probably makes many African Americans that lived in that time period very happy. This is because they were now one step closer to ending segregation and racism. We still continue to struggle with discrimination in employment due to race, disabilities, national origin, religion, and sex in the U.S. every day.

In June 23,1972  the Congress,and the president  Richard Nixon signed the Title IX for the women’s right at playing in sports . The Title IX was signed into a law after women protests. A federal law that states “no person in the united states shall, on the basis of sex, be excluded from participation. The sponsors of Title are Birch Evans  Bayh Jr  (Senate) and Edith green ( House of representatives).

In 1974 the women’s sports foundation by Billie Jean King in San Francisco. She has been a champion of social change equality, she created new roads for both genders in and out sports. Before IX’s inception, only a few girls were able to play in sports. In the few past years there are more girls playing in sports. Title IX's success in this area is further demonstrated by American women's recent Olympic success including gold medals in basketball, soccer, softball, gymnastics, and ice hockey.

Title IX has encountered a number of obstacles since its enactment. Title IX’s work is not yet done, because there still people that do not like the idea that women play in sports, like men. People see that women can’t accept women doing this because the way people think of women is that they should be at home doing women things. However, as women athletes, despite their numbers, still struggle for equal access to opportunities and facilities. For example, the National Women's Law Center reports that women athletes, despite their increasing numbers, receive only 33% of all athletic department dollars. The picture I choose show a protest by women. They are connect to this event by showing the right to play for everyone. When I looked at this picture no matter if you are a man, women also have the right to do whatever they want. That women can do more than men.

The new Equal Rights Amendment would guarantee all men and women equal rights, although it did not pass because only 35 states approved the proposed amendment. In the image above we can see president Jimmy Carter the 39th president for The United States of America who served from 1977 to 1981 signing the legislation proposing The Equal Rights Amendment before sending to the states for ratification.

The Equal Rights Amendment was supported by those who believed that women did not have equal rights to men. The women that surround Jimmy Carter in the picture were advocates for this amendment, during this time women fought for constitutional equality, and did not feel equal to men. The new amendment would specifically grant equal rights regardless of gender to all citizens specifically women it would extent the 14th amendment.

Fighting for equal rights for women still exists in today's society with the gender wage gap were men get paid more than women would for the same task. In addition, male dominance in our government system is another problem in the United States where women are not involved as much as men in government, there have been women marches to show their contribution to our country. Just recently women have gathered in Washington DC to advocate legislation and policies regarding human rights and other issues, including women's rights. It might be a long until women earn equal rights in our country but i feel like there are more important issues that are needed to be dealt with such as our spending on education funding is low where national security is heavily funded and lastly the government intervention with the free market and Government feeling to empowered. In conclusion the equal rights amendment would ban gender discrimination, provide equal pay to women, and apply all constitutional rights to women.

Roe v. WadeThe Roe v. Wade was the cause of the protest for legal and safe abortion. Jane Roe was a pregnant mother sued on behalf of all women on January 23,1973. Texas laws were criminalizing all abortions except those to save the life of the mother. Roe sued on behalf of herself and all other women that similarly claimed the laws were unconstitutional and cut their right of personal privacy, protected by the first, fourth, fifth, ninth, and fourteenth amendment. Many women of all ages protested for safe legal abortions for all women. They believed that women should get the rights they deserve while, the government thought otherwise. The government believed women should not be able to have an abortion during the pregnancy. Abortion became a criminal offense between 1860-1880. By the next century, all the states had laws against abortion. This law was rarely enforced and wealthy woman had no problem getting an abortion if that is what they wanted. Today, women in Texas and California are still fighting against this law. Planned Parenthood is a big help for women with unwanted pregnancies and plenty of resources to avoid pregnancies.
