The Declaration of Sentiments was created to call upon women to organize and petition to gain the rights and privileges that they were denied. The intent and purpose were to achieve equality and to bring about a change for the first time to a sexist society.

The Declaration of Sentiments was trying to convey that Women do not have the same rights as me. It was a “call to arms” in a sense. It called upon women to rise up to make a change in the US, to bring about equal rights to women and men.
