Abstract

The symposium explores the challenges and opportunities for advancing gender equality through legal reforms, particularly focusing on the Equal Rights Amendment (ERA) and the intersectionality of women's rights with other social justice movements. It emphasizes the need for a more inclusive and systemic approach to addressing gender inequalities, highlighting both the historical struggles within the feminist movement and the contemporary barriers to achieving substantive equality. The discussion underscores the importance of constitutional and legislative reforms, such as the ratification of the ERA, to address ongoing disparities in pay, representation, and access to reproductive rights.
