Leading Feminist Organizations Convene to Discuss Solutions for Sexual Harassment

Enough is Enough Summit, April 25, 2018:

WASHINGTON – The Enough Is Enough campaign, launched in December by coalition partners National Organization for Women (NOW), Feminist Majority, National Congress of Black Women, UNITE HERE, Alianza Nacional de Campesinas, and Legal Momentum are holding a one-day summit and congressional briefing on April 25, 2018 in Washington, D.C. These groups are bringing together activists and allies to discuss strategies and craft initiatives to combat sexual violence and develop survivor-centric solutions on the ground, in the courts, and in Congress.

Through panels and discussion, the event will serve as an opportunity to listen to a diverse group of people – from survivors themselves to various activists and allies working across different industries and sectors. These participants will not only share their first-hand experiences with sexual violence and harassment, but help lay a groundwork of recommendations for actionable solutions. The goal of Enough is Enough is to shine light on what sexual harassment looks like for different communities, and how together we can work to craft informed solutions that address these specific barriers.

The gender pay gap in medicine - a thread which I would like to dedicate to my colleagues who have been telling me for the last two decades that no such thing exists, this is the evidence. #womeninmedicine #ilooklikeasurgeon 🧵1/lots

We're taking a break from tweeting about lingerie today to have an important conversation about TikTok.

The app's algorithm was openly built with discrimination at its core. They've said it's gotten better, but here's what we're seeing here at Adore Me.

One-size-fits-all laws have no place in health decisions. Health care professionals should be able to use their best medical judgment to inform their patients' decisions throughout pregnancy, including abortion. #stopthebans #abortionishealthcare
