This is a powerful story about one woman's experience with sexual harassment, and we thank her for sharing it. There are too many more just like it. If you have your own to share, do it with #IWasHarassed. Speaking out can mean speaking up for changes. We're here, and we believe you.

There is a pervasive misunderstanding of women’s issues and the social structures that continue to put up barriers to equity. In a study released last August, respondents answered that when a 2016 presidential candidate said “women’s issues” he or she meant either equal pay or abortion rights. Further troubling is the disparity between the belief in equality—77% think women should have equal positions in solving community and national problems—and the understanding of how much power women actually have. Women make up only 20% of Congress but more than a third of respondents believed that women have equal power at the national level. Issues that affect women and girls, and often disproportionately, extend far beyond reproductive rights. Women have not had a representative seat at the table, and it shows in how the broader definition of women’s issues has been largely ignored in this election cycle.

The nearly year-long circus that has brought us to the national party conventions this month may have turned off many from wanting to watch another debate, but there’s no denying their high ratings and even higher profits. By introducing these issues in a national debate or a town hall—hey, we’re not picky about the format, only the discussion—we can help raise awareness, evaluate our leader’s policies and demonstrate women’s voting power. Maybe with a women’s debate American voters can benefit, too.

To date, during the presidential debates, the word “women” has been associated with their reproductive system, yet critical issues like women’s health, economic opportunities, and the epidemic of violence against women and girls remain eerily absent from these discussions.
