We remain committed to intensifying our efforts to ensure that all women and girls have equal opportunities to pursue the education and career they want and have free and equal access to the labour market. The Danish Government is further determined to combat domestic violence. We are proud to organize the next Women Deliver conference in May 2016 in Copenhagen."

Ellis Island Immigration Museum. One in three Americans has an ancestor who landed here in Ellis Island near Jersey City, NJ between 1892 to 1954.
This interesting exhibit shows the gender distribution of new immigrants to U.S. for every 15 years from 1860 to 1994. Notice that in early years more men than women came here, then it switched other way around from 1920s, finally the equality in the 1980s. :-)

Mit einer bewegenden Aktion vor dem Brandenburger Tor machten 100 Aktivistinnen und Aktivisten von Animal Equality auf die tragischen Folgen der heutigen Tiernutzung aufmerksam. Jeder Einzelne hielt ein Tier in den Händen, welches als Folge der Nutztierhaltung gestorben war. Die Aktivisten machten auf diese Weise das Leiden von Tieren in unserer Gesellschaft sichtbar und setzten sich gleichzeitig für mehr Mitgefühl und Gerechtigkeit für alle Tiere ein.
Die 100 toten Tiere, darunter Lämmer, Küken, Ferkel und Hühner, standen stellvertretend für alle getöteten Tiere durch den Menschen, vor allem durch den Konsum tierischer Produkte. Die Tiere sind in Mastanlagen, Tierversuchslaboren oder anderen Orten der industrialisierten Tiernutzung während ihrer Haltung gestorben und entsorgt worden.
Zahlreiche Menschen blieben stehen und verfolgten sichtbar bewegt die Aktion. Unsere Botschaft wurde somit an unzählige Passanten weitergetragen. Verschiedene Pressevertreter waren vor Ort, um über die Aktion zu berichten und die Leiden der Tiere öffentlich zu thematisieren.

Igualdad Animal ha sacado hoy a la luz imágenes de una granja de cría de patos en el estado de Brandeburgo en Alemania, poco antes de Navidad, para dar a conocer el terrible maltrato animal que sufren.
La investigación, que ha sido publicada hoy en primicia en el importante medio alemán Spiegel, muestra a trabajadores golpeando a patos hasta la muerte con horquetas, ensartando a los animales estando aún vivos y animales vivos arrojados a contenedores.
Según información obtenida del año 2013, la granja alemana suministraba aproximadamente un millón de patos al año a Wiesenhof. Igualdad Animal ha denunciado a esta granja.
Según las Estadísticas del Bundesamt, cada año casi 25 millones de patos son matados en Alemania, la comida preferida de Navidad. Aproximadamente, el 60 % de las ventas se realizan en estas fechas.

Timor-Leste: Prime Minister Rui Maria Araujo
“The Timor-Leste Constitution…provides that men and women must be treated equally in all aspects of life.… Our Government…prioritized action to end the discrimination of women and girls…and to stop gender-based violence. Timor-Leste fully supports [Sustainable Development Goal 5], which seeks to achieve gender equality and empower all women and girls. We also recommit to implement the Beijing Platform for Action as we celebrate 20 years since its adoption. Our country has a proud history of support for women. During our fight for independence, women participated actively in all fronts of the struggle. And now Timor-Leste has one of the biggest proportions of women parliamentarians in the world and the highest in the Asia-Pacific region. In our last elections, 38 per cent of those elected to the national parliament were women. …We must improve the situation of women and address the pervasive gender discrimination if we are to meet our development goals. …We fully commit to achieving gender equality and empowering women and girls.”

Celebrating the first same-sex couples to receive marriage licenses in Washington State! Taken at the bottom of the stairs outside Seattle City Hall on the morning of 12-09-2012. Congratulations to all!
Feminism was a movement at one point in time. It is an ideology now. It was a movement to unite women together. This movement was seeking equality and equal status for women and men. In order to possess opportunity and autonomy feminism was empowered. The power and beauty of feminism were into equality. As radical feminism came into light, the real meaning and power of feminism have lost.
These stacked plumbing pipes in a hardware store represent the concept of equality to me ... in the way that "while all these pipes are sorta equal, some pipes are more pipey than others".

Entry for Daily Shoot 618: "Illustrate the word equality today with a photograph that shows your favorite interpretation."

MLK Mall & "Balance of Equality"
1993
On December 8, 1983 NIU's governing board approved Martin Luther King Jr. Memorial Commons as the name for the area where this memorial sculpture and sculptor Peter Fagan's life-size bust of MLK (1993) resides. Nardi's sculpture "Balance of Equality" (1991) is based on the Reverend King's "Christmas Sermon on Peace" and engraved are two quotes from the speech on the base of the sculpture. The brick and concrete walkways and landscaping were completed in 1992.
