Womens Rights| American Civil Liberties Union

ACLU or the American Civil Liberties Union has acted as an advocate for women's rights and equality since 1972. They work to ensure gender equality, and believe that there has been great progress towards this. They claim that 'today gender bias continues to create huge barriers for many, especially poor women, women of colour, and immigrant women.' So are also advocating minorities in a sense. They aim for an America where all women and girls have equal access to quality education, employment and housing. Regardless of their race, class or even immigration status.

This site itself offers things such as a timeline for the voting acts rights and a timeline of the ACLU itself working towards bettering women's rights. It also provides a few info-graphics which are useful, and help to show what has happened in history so far towards women's rights, particularly there is a useful one in regards to women and education. The site is kept up to date, and continues to be relevant today, with topics such as sex discrimination in the workplace, which unfortunately still take place today.

Additionally, one of ACLU's main causes is to end the practice of separating boys and girls in public schools in America based on discredited and outdated gender stereotypes.

Although the female population is in no way a 'minority' as such, there is still a long way to go before true equality is reached. It is still quite rare to find women in positions of high power as opposed to men, and the idea of enforced diversity is interesting in this case as well as others. Some might argue that that is the only way to successfully make these changes in America

However, while the site supports gender equality, it also supports many other issues, and aims to support and extend rights to any segments of the American population which have been denied their rights, such as people of colour, lesbians, gay men, bisexuals, prisoners, and people with disabilities. Because of this, they are likely to receive support from many communities, and may be able to help make further changes towards equality in America.
