Women's rights

I am deeply committed to advancing and protecting the rights of all individuals, which is why I fully support the codification of Roe v. Wade. It is essential to enshrine into law a woman's right to make decisions about her own body, ensuring that these rights cannot be eroded by future political shifts. This step is crucial for safeguarding reproductive rights across the nation, providing consistency and security that every woman can rely on, regardless of where they live.

Additionally, I am dedicated to addressing and closing the pay gap and combating workplace discrimination. It is unacceptable that wage disparities persist based on gender, race, or any other characteristic unrelated to job performance. I support robust legislation that enforces equal pay for equal work, ensuring that all workers are compensated fairly for their efforts and talents. This includes enhancing transparency in how salaries and wages are determined and distributed, as well as strengthening penalties for violations of equal pay laws.

Moreover, combating workplace discrimination is vital for creating an inclusive, respectful, and productive work environment. I advocate for stronger enforcement of anti-discrimination laws and support measures that empower individuals to come forward with their grievances. This involves improving the processes for reporting and addressing discrimination, ensuring they are accessible, efficient, and fair. By promoting these values and policies, we can work towards a more just and equitable society where everyone has the opportunity to succeed without facing barriers related to their personal attributes.
