Equality of Rights Amendment

The Equal Rights Amendment (ERA) is a proposed change to the U.S. Constitution that aims to guarantee equal rights regardless of sex. Its purpose is to ensure that no one can be denied equality based on gender, providing a clear legal foundation against discrimination. The ERA seeks to affirm that equality under the law applies to everyone, helping to promote fairness in areas like employment, education, and legal protections. Although various versions have been proposed over time, the core goal remains to secure gender equality as a fundamental constitutional right.
