The War on Women Report

U.S. patriarchal authoritarianism is on the rise, and democracy is on the decline. But day after day, we stay vigilant in our goals to dismantle patriarchy at every turn. The fight is far from over. We are watching, and we refuse to go back. This is the War on Women Report.

War on Women Report No. 22

As recordings of the president bragging about sexually assault women resurfaced in the news this week, Madeleine Albright called out his sexism. In the midst of it all, a dangerously anti-abortion and anti-contraception Trump nominee for the federal bench had her confirmation hearing.

War on Women Report No. 19

This week, the Trump administration did its best to codify policies that would hurt communities of color and literally erased queer and trans women. Meanwhile, Eric Trump tweeted about a love of guns while his father fled D.C. before the March for Our Lives arrived at his doorstep.

War on Women Report No. 18

Trump and his cabinet, staff members and surrogates were called out this week for sexist remarks and their inaction on gun violence in the wake of the Parkland shooting. His administration also quietly escalated its attack on Planned Parenthood.

Donald Trump’s tweets this week proved his inconsistency on the urgent issue of gun violence—and landed him in legal trouble as a lawsuit advances against his administration for their campus sexual assault policies.

War on Women Report No. 16

While Donald Trump, Jr., was using Twitter to signal support for conspiracy theorists claiming Parkland shooting survivors are “crisis actors,” his father—the President—was using the platform to discredit a woman accusing him of sexual misconduct. Meanwhile, Trump’s administration refuses to recognize abortion as a human right and no longer sees the U.S. as “a nation of immigrants.”

War on Women Report No. 13

The Trump administration this week continued advancing an anti-immigrant, anti-abortion and increasingly isolationist agenda. Meanwhile, a new report on Trump’s manterruptions of Theresa May (disappointingly) surprised no one.
