PUBLISH the Equal Rights Amendment for Human Rights Day. Women's Rights ARE Human Rights
UPDATE. Today is Human Rights Day. On December 10, 1948, the United Nations General Assembly adopted the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR)
Yet 73 years after the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, 173 year after Elizabeth Cady Stantons' Declaration of Sentiments & almost 100 years after Alice Paul first introduced the Equal Rights Amendment in 1923, American WOMEN STILL DON'T have Equal Protection of the Law.
WOMEN'S Rights ARE Human Rights.
WOMEN'S Rights ARE Civil Rights.
American WOMEN need the Ratification of the Equal Rights Amendment.
We need the reauthorization of the Violence Against Women Act.
AND
We NEED a Hate Speech Bill to protect WOMEN from the BLATANT BULLYING at the Grammy Awards when Women as a Class of PEOPLE are referred to as BITCH.
Hate Speech leads to Hate Crimes & Violence Against Women.

****************************************************
Women's History Month Day 23. Women's Rights are Human Rights. Women's Rights are Civil Rights. The Equal Rights Amendment case will be heard before the Senate today. I thought I would go back to the origins of modern Political Ideology that shaped some of these most basic Political concepts with former First Lady Eleanor Roosevelt.
Cousin of President Theodore Roosevelt (1901-1909) & wife of President Franklin D. Roosevelt (1933-1945), First Lady Eleanor Roosevelt changed the role of First Lady from Figurehead to being a Diplomat in her own right.
While the First Lady was active during her husband's Administration, when President Roosevelt died in office in 1945 & Vice President Harry S. Truman was sworn into office, Eleanor stayed on in various roles in the Truman Administration - most notably in the United Nations Commission on Human Rights.
As Chairwoman of this newly-created Commission, Eleanor considered the drafting & adoption of the Declaration of Universal Human Rights to be her greatest accomplishment.
Like the Declaration of Sentiments presented at the First Women's Rights Convention at Seneca Falls, New York 173 years earlier, the Universal Declaration of Human Rights was modeled after the Declaration of Independence.
This Document enumerated 30 Basic Human Rights.
"Such are the places where every man, woman & child seeks EQUAL justice, EQUAL opportunity, EQUAL dignity without discrimination." - Eleanor Roosevelt
