The Equal Rights Amendment is a crucial step toward enshrining true equality and preventing discrimination based on gender. With the requirements for its ratification already met, it falls upon President Biden to take decisive action and ensure the ERA becomes part of the Constitution before the end of his term. Not doing so would be a failure to uphold principles of justice and leave basic rights vulnerable. This is a historic opportunity to cement gender equality as a fundamental right that cannot be rolled back or undermined. Decades of advocacy have led to this moment - the culmination of efforts to guarantee equal protection under the law regardless of sex. President Biden must act swiftly to publish the ERA and solidify his legacy as a champion of equality for all. The time is now to make this a reality and secure enduring protections against gender-based injustices.
