Issue Position: Gender Equality

Issue Position

Date: Jan. 1, 2019
Issues: Women Civil Liberties and Civil Rights Sexual Orientation and Gender Identity

Freedom means that your opportunities aren't limited because of your gender.

KEY POLICY
Pay transparency
The United States should pass a new law publicly reporting a simple annual statistic for every large company: for every dollar paid to men, how much less did women make? Companies that don't hire, pay, and promote women fairly will have to explain themselves and change. It starts with transparency. And it is way past time to enact the Paycheck Fairness Act, which would make it more difficult for employers to hide unfair pay practices.

ADDITIONAL POLICIES
Remove the deadline for and support the Equal Rights Amendment
Strengthen anti-discrimination protections against gender and sexual identity-based discrimination
Strengthen protections for pregnant workers
