The Memphis riots lasted 3 days in which white policeman & civilians stormed through black neighborhoods, injuring 75 people, killing 46 African Americans, & raping at least 5 black women. Many survivors came forth, but in the end their perpetrators were not punished. #ROC #UCCS

In 8 out of 10 rape cases, the victim knows the perpetrator. Nearly, 6 out of ten sexual assaults occur in the victim's home or the home of a friend, relative, or neighbor. #UCCS #ROC #WomensHistoryMonth

In 1857, women divorcing on the grounds of adultery not only had to prove their husbands had been unfaithful, but also had to prove additional faults, which included cruelty, rape and incest. #ROC #UCCS #WomensHistoryMonth

In 1971, Dorothy Height helped found the National Women's Political Caucus with Gloria Steinem, Betty Friedan & Shirley Chisholm. President Barack Obama called her "the godmother of the Civil Rights Movement". #UCCS #ROC #WomensHistoryMonth

In 2014, Obama launched the "It's on Us " campaign to end sexual assault on campuses and raise awareness. It asks everyone to make a personal commitment to step off the sidelines and be part of the solution to campus sexual assault. #ROC #UCCS #WomensHistoryMonth

Access to safe and affordable housing is a major concern for those leaving violent situations. Current fair housing laws help make this access easier. #ROC #UCCS #WomensHistoryMonth

Oprahs family was very poor, & she was teased at school for wearing dresses made of potato sacks. She openly discussed her childhood sexual abuse suffered at the hands of male relatives. Now Oprah Winfrey is the first black woman billionaire. #UCCS #ROC #WomensHistoryMonth

In 1963, the Equal Pay Act was adopted, but with much backlash & controversy. Women are still effected by the wage-gap in 2018, fear of providing for their family on a low-income is one of many reasons women tolerate violent situations. #ROC #UCCS #WomensHistoryMonth

In the 1900s, more women began to reject the traditional role of housewife & started entering the work force. There was an increased demand for equal rights & opportunities for women. #UCCS #ROC #WomensHistoryMonth

[UCCS ROC @UCCS_ROC]

Before 1976, a woman could not legally accuse her husband of rape in the United States. While legal definition of consent has come a long way in the US, there is still work to do. #YESmeansYES #ROC #UCCS #WomensHistoryMonth #consent

During the mid-twenty century, women's rights had progressed. They could now vote & own property. Yet, they still faced many struggles including discrimination, equal access to employment, & fair pay. Friedan worked tirelessly on these fronts. #UCCS #ROC #WomensHistoryMonth
