Three questions every candidate should answer at the debate | By Fatima Goss Graves, president and CEO of the National Women's Law Center, for CNNOpinion
Fatima Goss Graves is President and CEO of the National Women's Law Center. She has joined together with Tarana Burke, the founder of the #MeToo movement, Ai-jen Poo of the National Domestic Workers Alliance, and Monica Ramirez of Justice for Migrant Women, to launch #MeTooVoter, an online campaign that engages voters to raise the visibility of sexual violence and harassment and push elected leaders and candidates to develop policies that attack this scourge.
The headlines and protest signs tell a unified story: this is an extraordinary time for women in this country. Everywhere, they are leading the charge. In the 2018 midterm elections, women won a record number of seats in congress with a total of 127 women now serving in the House and Senate. It's also remarkable that five Democratic women are currently in the presidential race.
Women continue to march, vote and run for office in unprecedented numbers. And, once again, women will play a pivotal role in determining who wins the presidency in 2020. Yet, in last month's Democratic primary debate, moderators asked over 40 questions -- and made no mention of abortion, reproductive rights, child care or the gender wage gap.
