A rally and press conference was held on Tuesday afternoon April 10th at the Daley Center in downtown Chicago to call attention to the fact that the state of Illinois is one of fourteen states yet to pass the Equal Rights Amendment.
The Equal Rights Amendment states that: "Equality of rights under the law shall not be denied or abridged by the United States or any state on account of sex". The E.R.A, would provide legal protection for women in various ways including gender-based violence, equal pay, and pregnancy discrimination.
70% of America's poor are women. This also affects the children who depend on them.
Women make up roughly half the workforce and constitute two-thirds of minimum wage workers.
Women earn 79 and 44% of what men make adjusted for their race. The latter figure applies more to blacks and Hispanics.
Women are twice as likely to retire in poverty as men.
Passing the E.R.A. would ensure that employers could not give women less pay for doing the same work as a man.

Film Showing: "The Invisible War"
Tuesday, September 30 - 6:00 p.m.
Main Library
Nominated for an Academy Award for best documentary feature, this 2012 investigative documentary uncovers the epidemic of rape of soldiers within the U.S. military. The New York Times called it "a movie that cannot be ignored." The film paints a startling picture of the extent of the problem. Today, a female soldier in combat zones is more likely to be raped by a fellow soldier than killed by enemy fire. The Department of Defense estimates there were a staggering 22,800 violent sex crimes in the military in 2011. Twenty percent of all active-duty female soldiers are sexually assaulted. Female soldiers aged 18 to 21 accounted for more than half of the victims.
After the film, stay for a legislative update and discussion.

Once when I was 7 yrs. old, I saw him touch my baby sister inside her diaper. He saw me and I tried to run and tell someone. He held my hands and burned them on the stove. He really wanted to burn my mouth shut.

"Dominic Strauss-Kahn is a powerful global figure who has been accused of a string of sexual offences and is still under investigation for his role in a prostitution ring. By inviting him to speak, the Cambridge Union risks colluding with attitudes that condone or trivialise violence against women. Ironically the event comes one day after International Women's Day (8th March) when people around the globe will be taking action on sexual and other violence against women." - Holly Dustin, Director of the End Violence Against Women Coalition

UCLA Clothesline Project - Reaching Out of Silence, Joining Hands Against Violence
"The UCLA Clothesline Project is a non-partisan student organization that aims to stop multiple and intersecting forms of sexual violence. We strive to break the silence surrounding sexual violence and raise awareness about this crime that affects everyone regardless of age, gender, sexuality, race/ethnicity, economic status, and/or geographic location."
This was originally a string of blue and red shirts hung in the middle of UCLA's Dickson court. Each of which had a personal message written on it by rape/sexual abuse victim/survivors. This picture only shows a fraction of the actual shirts hung there.
The shirts were color coded to represent the different types of sexual violence.
The red shirts represent the survivors of rape and/or sexual assault, and blue shirt represent the survivors of incest/child sexual abuse.

"the White Rose Movement Taiwan" staged a demonstration on Ketagalan Boulevard to calls for a revision of law that can provide better protection against sexual assault for children and people with disabilities. The move was first initiated by Internet users who were upset about a court verdict last month (August 2010) that gave a man accused of molesting a six-year-old girl a three-year prison sentence, based on the explanation that the girl did not explicitly express objection.
President Ma Ying-jeou (馬英九) has heard the call of the White Rose Movement and is urging swift passage of a draft bill to regulate the certification, performance and ethics of judges, the Presidential Office said in a statement issued yesterday.
