It speeds up time. #registertovote #votegirlvote #Chicago #Boston #neworleans #stlouis #sanfrancisco #vote #politics #girlpower #empoweringwomen #strongwomen #mayor

The US Constitution finally recognized the right of US women to vote a mere 101 years ago. In contrast, for over 1000 years - since the founding of the Iroquois (Haudensaunee) confederacy - Native American women have exercised and continue to exercise their political voice. #votingrights #womensrights #indigenouswomen #indigenous #indigenouspeoplesday #vote #equality #equity #nativeamerican #womeninpolitics #women #history #womenshistory #leagueofwomenvoters #seneca #newyork #senecafalls #vote411 #sacredplaces #nativeamericanwisdom #nativeamericans #nativeamericanwoman #nativeamericanwomen

One of the best indicators of state fragility is treatment of women. Societies that oppress women are far more likely to be both violent and unstable. . Researchers at @tamu and @brighamyounguniversity compiled a global index of pre-modern attitudes to women, such as sexist family laws, unequal property rights, early marriage for girls, patrilocal marriage, polygamy, bride prices, son preference, violence against women and legal indulgence of it. All of which showed a strong correlation to violent instability in a country. These factors are also tied deeply to poverty, food insecurity and human development. . Such findings underscore the importance of looking at geopolitics through the lens of sex, as it shows looming challenges in countries like Saudi Arabia, Pakistan or India. It reinforces the need to include women in peace talks. To commit to education programs for girls. To challenge patrilineality. To enforce legal restrictions on child marriage and female genital mutilation. To protect women from violence. . The recent developments in Afghanistan are but the latest reminder of this. @theeconomist #whynationsthatfailwomenfail #fragilestateindex

A walking tribute to the #19thAmendment, #womensrights and the #EqualRightsAmendment 👏👏 . Last night, Rep. Carolyn Maloney – a strong proponent of equality and #ERANow – attended the 2021 #METGala donning a couture dress reading “Equal Rights From Women” in tribute to the 19th Amendment. She paired the dress with an #ERA Yes” bag encouraging support for the bill. . On her powerful statement, Rep. Maloney said: Across the country, women’s rights are under attack. I have long used fashion as a force for change. As the Met Costume Institute reopens w/ their inaugural exhibit celebrating American designers, I am calling for the certification of the ERA so women can be equal once and for all. #ERANow #equalitymatters #EqualRightsAmendment #EqualityCantWait #genderequality #empowerment #politics #womeninpolitics #girlpower
