Today, this discrimination takes many forms: unequal pay and economic opportunity, lack of educational equity, gender differences in health insurance coverage, repeated attempts to limit abortion...to list just a few. Gender bias continues to create huge barriers to equalilty for women - and LGBTQ people.
