Jane Doe and Kendall Francis are not alone. 1 in 4 women experience sexual violence while in college. And Trump’s Dept of Ed. is doing nothing to address it. They have gutted the very Office tasked with enforcing Title IX and formally reinstated regulations that weaken protections for survivors.

Democratic women’s caucus demands Trump administration changes after Cornell accusations

The lawmakers said the case “raised questions about the Title IX process and discipline imposed by Cornell University.”

Do you think Trump respects women more than men?

Women in detention are being sexually assaulted and ICE is doing nothing about it. Sexual violence thrives where accountability is missing. We need to protect women and hold Trump and Republicans responsible for this rampant abuse. www.sacurrent.com/news/politic...

Testimony: Women sexually assaulted in ICE detention sites in Texas

A top immigrant-rights advocate made the claim during a hearing held by U.S. Rep. Joaquin Castro in San Antonio on Friday.

Fair pay for Latinas strengthens families, communities, and our economy.   Today, marks #LatinaEqualPayDay. We won’t stop fighting until all women are paid what they earned.

First, SNAP. Then, Medicaid. Now, public schools. Trump and Republicans just can't stop coming for our kids.

Public education fosters community engagement and allows students to thrive and grow. Republicans want to end it. My friend Rep. Adelita Grijalva and I are committed to protecting public education for future generations. We won’t deprive schools of the tools they need to support students.

Estrogen patches are a vital part of daily healthcare for millions of women navigating menopause. However, right now, it’s nearly impossible to find, and the FDA is doing nothing. We sent a letter to HHS and the FDA demanding answers. Read more here: www.reuters.com/legal/litiga...

Accountability should not depend on a political moment. We need to change the rules, the laws and the culture to ensure women feel safe when reporting and that the system works for survivors. From Capitol Hill to college campuses, our reforms make it clear: sexual misconduct has consequences.

Imagine thinking the greatest threat to human existence is women having access to basic healthcare…

Republicans claim to be the party of family values then gut Head Start, childcare, SNAP, and access to reproductive healthcare. @repgwenmoore.bsky.social said it best, you can’t claim to care about moms while voting to strip away their rights and lifelines.

October is Domestic Violence Awareness Month. We're working everyday to end the stigma around abuse, empower survivors, and pass legislation to bolster resources and pathways to justice. This month and everyday we’re showing up for survivors.

Congratulations to @replamonica.bsky.social ! We are so excited for you and your family 💜 We can't wait to meet our newest DWC member.

Rep. LaMonica McIver@replamonica.bsky.social · last wk.

She’s here! We just welcomed our beautiful baby girl and words can’t describe how blessed my family feels. Being a mom is one of the greatest joys of my life, and I’m beyond grateful. Thank you, everyone, for your love and support. It means the world 💕💕

October is Domestic Violence Awareness Month. This month, and every day, we are pushing for legislation that supports and protects survivors. Safety for all women and girls is not negotiable. It’s a bare minimum. @repemiliasykes.bsky.social

The Hyde Amendment blocks federal funds from being used for abortion care. This means women on Medicaid have to pay for abortion care out-of-pocket, making access to abortion dependent on economic status. The Hyde Amendment is discriminatory, and it’s past time we repeal it.

Ripping food away from 6 million people is not a victory.

Families are going hungry and the Trump administration is proud of it.

What happened to the young woman at Cornell is horrifying. DWC & women across the country stand with her. It's past time we teach boys what consent means & change this pervasive culture around sexual violence. We've fought for years so women can live free from fear, & we won't stop until we win.

We honor Gold Star Mothers and families who lost a loved one during their military service. These families deserve our support today and every day.

September 27 is Gold Star Mothers & Family Day: a time to reflect and honor the sacrifices of the moms, dads, and family members who have lost their sons and daughters in military service. May their memories be a blessing.

The Trump administration has failed to distribute over $100 million in grants for the Teen Pregnancy Prevention Program. Now this money is sitting unused. We are holding HHS accountable led by @kellymorrisonmn.bsky.social, @chu.house.gov, & @murray.senate.gov .

Survivors should always feel believed and protected when they come forward. We are fighting alongside advocates like @katiephang.bsky.social and @reckoningaction.bsky.social to build a system where abusers are held accountable and survivors are put first.

POWERFUL: Epstein survivor Dani Bensky gets emotional reading a message left for survivors at the Redacted Reading Room: “‘We believe you.’ Honestly, for so many years, I was like, ‘No one ever will.’” “It’s like a hug… It’s like the world is saying, ‘No, your experience matters and you matter.’”

Trump wants you to believe what they say, not what you see with your own eyes. They're trying to silence women by spreading misinformation about our First Amendment rights.

@murray.senate.gov asked Overton three times to confirm that an IUD isn't an abortifacient, and she couldn't even do that. This is beyond disturbing.

Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · 2w ago

MURRAY: The Trump admin falsely labeled birth control as abortion. Do you agree that an IUD is an abortifacient? OVERTON: If confirmed, I'll be fully briefed M: That's not an answer. The prospect of an FDA commissioner who doesn't know that birth control isn't an abortion is deeply alarming O: 😊

Funding the Department of Homeland Security with over $200 billion doesn't help families pay their bills. Republicans may say they care about women and families—but their votes say otherwise.

More than 7.5 million women have safely used mifepristone since 2000—not just for abortion care, but also to treat conditions like fibroids and endometriosis. We must protect mife.

For more than 25 years, mifepristone has been approved for abortion in the U.S. But mifepristone and a similar drug have also been proven to treat conditions like uterine fibroids and endometriosis. https://to.pbs.org/4Aq5F7N

ICE is shackling pregnant women and ripping away nursing mothers from their children. DHS Secretary Mullin should be ashamed. Women in detention deserve dignity and due process. @fernandez.house.gov

Trump forgets that scrubbing the data doesn't erase the truth.   This admin is making it harder for students to report gender-based bullying.

The Trump administration has quietly scrubbed all response data on bullying based on gender identity from the Education Department's school civil rights survey.
