Accelerating Action: Women’s Autonomy and Global Resistance
Women’s autonomy is under siege. But with every backlash comes resistance.
Across the U.S., women are facing unprecedented attacks on their rights, freedoms, and bodily autonomy—from extreme abortion bans and political suppression to the erosion of workplace protections. But this isn’t just an American issue. The ripple effects are global. As the U.S. backtracks, Europe and other regions are stepping up, offering refuge, policy leadership, and solidarity in the fight for gender justice.
