- Op-ed | GENDA: Where we are on the state’s gender non-discrimination act, and how we got here
The article outlines the history and passage of New York State's Gender Non-Discrimination Act (GENDA), which was signed into law in 2019 after years of legislative efforts. GENDA expands protections to include gender identity and expression, adds hate crime provisions for transgender individuals, and defines key terms to clarify anti-discrimination policies in areas like employment, housing, and education.
