WASHINGTON – U.S. President Joe Biden is seriously considering taking steps to advance the Equal Rights Amendment (ERA), which seeks to enshrine the prohibition of discrimination based on sex in the Constitution. According to a report by the Washington Post on Thursday, which cited sources familiar with the ongoing discussions, Biden aims to take action before he leaves office on Monday. The potential move underscores the administration’s commitment to gender equality and could have lasting implications for civil rights in the United States. Supporters of the ERA argue that it is essential for ensuring equal treatment under the law, while opponents raise concerns about its broader effects on existing legal frameworks. As the deadline approaches, the Biden administration’s focus on this issue highlights the importance of advancing equity and justice for all individuals, regardless of sex.
