Women’s Equality Day

August 26 All day

Today is 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, we declared this day to be Women’s Inequality Day, which we’ll continue this year. 

Banner for LWV's Women's Inequality Day campaign. The background of the graphic is light yellow with a purple banner at the bottom. The banner has the LWV and Women Power Democracy logo at the bottom, with the hashtag #WomenVote2024. There are two women featured in the graphic holding rally signs that say 'Equal Pay' and 'Reproductive Rights.' To the left of the two women is a box that says 'Women's Equality is on the Ballot'
