“Historically, the human rights movement has excluded the real lives of many women by supposing that ‘sex work’ was acceptable—as if women selling their bodies were freely chosen[.] It seems to be long past time to delink ‘sex’ and ‘work.’” Gloria Steinem. https://t.co/ISyZBR3Le3

NY's Voluntary Intoxication Exclusion law makes it near impossible for sexual assault survivors to get justice if they were "voluntarily" intoxicated. Call your NY rep & demand change TODAY! https://t.co/9ZztZeIuJn via @BrianLehrer
