Employability
American women face several unique legal hurdles in the workplace. From sexual harassment to unequal pay, they have a legal code written primarily to protect men from lawsuits.
Human Rights
Women have a unique role in reproduction that men do not. As a result, women's health issues, including reproductive rights, remain a public concern. Whether people identify as pro-life (in favor of preserving human life and opposing abortion) or pro-choice (in favor of maintaining a woman's right to decide what to do with her own body), reproductive rights will likely forever remain a hot button issue in American law and politics.

Women are at greater risk of poverty than men at every stage of their lives due to ongoing gender discrimination and a job bias that favors men.
On average, women earn less than men, resulting in lower lifetime earnings throughout their careers. They also tend to spend more years out of the labor force to care for children and family members, resulting in a more significant number of career breaks and lower lifetime earnings. As a result, several social programs recognize gender-based preferences to better account for this.
