Equal Rights for Women and Girls

About This Collection

Equal Rights for Women is a major category, like energy or climate change, of sustainability and the voices in this collection are of the present and the past.

If we don't address human rights and social justice of which the sustainability keywords and phrases include children's rights and welfare; human trafficking, slavery, and women's rights and roles, then as David Korten points out, we will not be able to come to terms with the limits of the planet and not even technology will be able to save us.

The Butterfly Effect with Catharine MacKinnon

Pioneering women's rights lawyer and activist Catharine A. MacKinnon explores the "Butterfly Effect" in law. She argues that seemingly minor legal interventions can generate major social and cultural transformations, inspiring equality seekers to spread their wings.

A distinguished Elizabeth A. Long Professor of Law at Michigan Law, MacKinnon specializes in sex equality issues under international and domestic law. Watch her discuss these powerful ideas in our latest RSA Spotlight video. For the full talk, click here. Learn more about her work here.
