Carolyn Maloney Quotes About Equal Rights

Quotes about: Equal Rights

• We cannot ensure that women will be free of discrimination in the workplace and everywhere as long as women are not universally defended under our Constitution.

• We have not ratified The Convention on the Elimination of all forms of Discrimination Among Women. I think 194 countries have signed onto it, but the United States has not. And CEDAW to the United Nations is what the Equal Rights Amendment or the women's equality amendment is to the United States. I think we should pass the women's equality amendment and a lot of these other fights would go away.
