I know many people who think that gender-based discrimination has been eradicated as laws protecting women's rights were put in place so long ago, surely the benefits of these laws should have trickled through by now so we should all be on a level playing field (particularly in the workplace) in 2024. Here are some surprising dates for you to consider... #breakthebias #gohenry #internationalwomensday2024 #femaleownedbusiness

In a world striving for equality, it is crucial to address the issue of sexual harassment and empower women through awareness of rape laws. International Women's Day serves as a poignant moment to shed light on this imperative subject. Rape laws are not merely legal statutes but vital tools in safeguarding the dignity and rights of every individual, especially women. Understanding these laws is a powerful step towards dismantling the culture of silence and fostering a society where survivors are supported, and perpetrators are held accountable. #InternationalWomensDay #ProtectHerVoice

The definition of "Harassment" does not only include the act of sexual nature but it also includes "Gender based discrimination" at workplaces as well. In the Protection Against Harassment of Women at Workplace Act, 2018 the definition of Harassment has given broader scope. ✅️(PLD 2023 SC 588) #law #womenrights #lawyersoflinkedin

Did you know that before 1919 women couldn't be solicitors? The Sex Disqualification (Removal) Act enabled women to be able to work in the Civil Service and the judicial system. Before this, women were not allowed to join the profession as they were not classified as ‘persons’ under the Solicitors Act 1843. Now, 62% of solicitors are women according to the SRA. However only 32% of full-equity partners are women, so there's still work to be done in removing the barriers from women progressing higher. This international women's day #InspireInclusion by celebrate women's achievements in law and raise awareness about any remaining barriers to success and progression. #internationalwomensday2024 #iwd #womeninlaw

The past couple weeks we have seen the kinds of discrimination faced by women on top of gender-based discrimination. It is important to recognize all forms of discrimination and speak out against all discriminatory actions, behaviors, and words. #womensafehouse #endgbv #endviolence #EndViolenceAgainstWomen #notodomesticviolence #enddomesticviolence #speakout

The ACLU of Minnesota filed an amicus brief calling upon the court to protect the rights of women, transgender, and gender nonconforming Minnesotans. Currently, Minnesota's indecent exposure statute is vague and effectively criminalizes the anatomy of half the population. Minnesota women can be arrested for and convicted of indecent exposure if some part of their breast is visible to the public because “female breasts” are “private parts.” The court of appeals doesn’t clarify what part of a breast can show and which can’t, so it’s uncertain what people with “female breasts” can wear to the beach this summer. “Male breasts” are not “private parts” so people with “male breasts” can’t be arrested for having part of their breasts visible. Our position is that treating people differently because of outdated ideas about gender and sexuality violates Minnesotans’ right to equal protection of the law. #EqualProtection #DueProcess #LegalNews #ACLU #GenderEquality https://lnkd.in/gHh5KTWK
