LDS Church, Other Faiths Still Discriminate Against Women

It has now been more than 100 years since the passage of the 19th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution, guaranteeing women the right to vote. Legislation passed by Congress and by many states also protects women against discrimination in such areas of life as housing, credit, hiring, pay, public accommodations and education. Considering these legal protections, one might think that women enjoy equal treatment with men in the United States. But nothing could be further from the truth. Violence by men against women is widespread. Men dominate women in the political arena, in business and the workplace and in higher education. Many women are subject to a constant barrage of sexual innuendo and harassment.
