Brennan said, “I’m hopeful that the City and County of Honolulu will eventually require a permit condition that insures all professional sports competitions held solely on city/county land have gendered categories and identical playing time and prize compensation for each category at each participant level.”
The work I started in 2015 has inspired state agency policy changes, city council resolutions in two states and a state law in California. I’m overjoyed that the City and County of Honolulu supports policy changes that will help end gender discrimination. This is a great moment for equality and equal pay in professional sports!
Elected representatives and public agencies have the power to stop gender discrimination by following and enforcing state and federal civil rights laws.
