WOMEN'S (In) equality Day
About this event
August 26, or Women’s Equality Day, marks the anniversary of the certification of the 19th Amendment, which granted some women the right to vote. However, women now have fewer rights than we have had in decades, and we are far from equal in our democracy.
In the aftermath of the US Supreme Court’s Dobbs decision in 2022, LWVUS declared this day to be Women’s (In)equality Day, which we'll carry on this year.
This year, we’re encouraging Leagues to fold their Women's Inequality Day events into our Unite and Rise framework. Women power our democracy, and we know that issues central to many women voters — from access to reproductive health care to the Equal Rights Amendment — are essential in a fair and equitable democracy.
