What would a gender equal world look like? How will we know when we’ve achieved it?

A world where opportunities and rewards are distributed regardless of the gender you were assigned at birth. We will know we have achieved it when these conversations are antiquated and unnecessary and we have moved past the binary of gender being a box one checks.

What do you think it will take to achieve? (Who needs to be a core part of the movement/solutions? What strategies should we be focusing on?)

We need to move past binary and men versus women, and we need more people to believe in a gender equal world, particularly men. The more everyone can be on the same side of equality, the more opportunity we have to change the narrative.

Given the current status of the world, what gives you hope and inspiration that we can achieve equality?

The fact that we are having these conversations is hopeful and inspirational. 

If you had to give three pieces of advice to current lawmakers who desire to pass the equal rights amendment and support equality, what would you say to them?

An entire society can benefit from everyone being on equal footing. Day in and day out we are fighting centuries of inequities and compounded oppression to try and establish new principles for the future.  Once we see society as a whole and empower one another, I know we can do great things.
