🆕 Recently resigned prison guard Hector Bravo, @ThatPrisonGuard, sounds the alarm on the ‘immoral, dangerous’ policies that allow predatory male inmates with a history of sexual violence to be housed in women’s prisons. Watch NOW: @kelseybolar @andreajmew iwf.org/cruelandunusua…
“The plan was to do a full career, lengthy career, & retire & collect a pension. However, when things became dangerous, when people's lives were being affected & jeopardized…you put the troop’s safety first and foremost.” #ProtectFemaleInmates #WomensRightsAreHumanRights

🚨 In the first episode of the mini-doc series, Cruel & Unusual Punishment, former inmate Jennifer Barela exposes the sex discrimination she & other incarcerated women faced at the hands of anti-women policies that allow men who identify as transgender to be housed with women. Watch NOW: iwf.org/cruelandunusua…
After Jennifer served 11 years in a women’s prison facility, California Gov. Gavin Newsom signed SB 132 into law, which allowed men to self-identify as transgender or non-binary & transfer into female-only prisons.

We strongly condemn the violence perpetrated against @IWF spokeswoman @Riley_Gaines_ on @SFSU campus. Riley was violently accosted, ambushed, and physically assaulted during a speech on sex discrimination women face in their own single-sex sports category.
Riley is courageous in speaking up for truth, science and common sense. She has experienced firsthand the injustice female athletes face across America in their own sport. “Inclusion cannot come at the expense of women,” said Riley in a statement to media before the campus event.

Prisha Mosley testified before the South Carolina Senate about her devastating experience with 'gender affirming care' and the pain she suffers with because of her medicalized transition, which began as a minor.
If you watch one thing today, it should be this. @detransaqua
Doctors have abandoned Prisha since she decided to take her life back following her medical transition.
Her story is a reminder of how dangerous and permanent these treatments are for minors and the responsibility that falls on medical professionals. iwf.org/2023/02/13/det…

Chloe Cole’s detransition story is a heartbreaking reminder that children do not know best. They cannot make informed decisions about life-changing ‘care,’ that will lead to more harm than good.
Our latest #IdentityCrisis series documentary tells @ChoooCole's story...
Chloe began identifying as a boy at 12, began hormones at 13, went under the knife to remove her breasts at 15, only to regret it a few months later. She's speaking out about her identity crisis & how her ‘transition’ has taken something beautiful & uniquely female away forever.

.@IWF calls on Congress to clarify federal law on campus sexual assault. #TitleIX#IWlaw#IWed#IWregs
Washington, DC -- @IWF applauds the U.S. Senate committee on Health, Education, Labor and Pensions for taking the first step toward clarifying federal law on campus sexual assault.
There are a lot of ridiculous holidays—from “International Talk Like a Pirate Day” to “Have a Party With Your Bear Day” to “Bubble Gum Day.”
But “Equal Pay Day” is something worse. It’s a misleading effort designed to make women feel like they’re all, inevitably, being short-changed in their workplaces. That’s not the case.
