Women's and LGBTQ rights are under attack. But we're fighting back.
Authoritarian regimes have long undermined equality. But we can still protect and advance essential rights.

By Jennifer Weiss-Wolf
Amid the bleak landscape of anti-abortion legislation, menopause advocacy stands out as a potential bipartisan issue. Feminist author and advocate Jennifer Weiss-Wolf points to "A Citizen’s Guide to Menopause Advocacy," which aims to mobilize support for investment in midlife women’s healthcare.
