Portrait: Erasure
When sexual assault data, research, and women's health guidelines are erased.
Lately, the White House has deemed it necessary to defend us poor women by passing the executive order “DEFENDING WOMEN FROM GENDER IDEOLOGY EXTREMISM AND RESTORING BIOLOGICAL TRUTH TO THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT.”
Contraceptive guidelines, critical sexual assault research and data, and even women’s work contributions or accolades/awards, and more have been either removed entirely or highly altered. FDA guidance to ensure diverse representation in clinical trials has also been removed.
Over 92% of sexual assault perpetrators and 99% of rape perpetrators are men.
Who are we really defending when it comes to all this?
