Michigan Law Gender Violence Project

Michigan Law’s Gender Violence Project (GVP) is a coalition of law students who believe deeply in justice for survivors of gender-based violence.

#Breaking 🚨: The Michigan Court of Claims just granted our request for a preliminary injunction against Michigan's 1931 criminal abortion ban. This means abortion access is protected in Michigan while our full case against the outdated and unconstitutional law proceeds.

Congratulations Audrey!!! Audrey led the Gender Violence Project @UMichLaw and I'm so glad to see her continuing that work after law school!!

[Victoria Clark @vic5280]

That's my friend and incredible @mlaw_gvp leader!

[Michigan Law Gender Violence Project @mlaw_gvp]

Criminalization does not stop abortion and never has—it only prevents access to safe care. In the U.S., these bans disproportionately affect low income and Black communities. Please know: that result is not a coincidence. We won’t give up on this fight.

A draft opinion offensive to the core principles of reproductive freedom.

a reminder that the GOP platform called for overruling Obergefell as well as Roe

[Leah Feiger @LeahFeiger]

In light of the draft of a leaked majority Supreme Court decision to overturn Roe v Wade, I want to call your attention to the people that would be impacted most by the end of legalized abortion across the United States. 🧵:

[National Women's Law Center @nwlc]

First: Abortion is still legal.

The language in the draft opinion leaked from the Supreme Court is outrageous, irresponsible and shocking.

Any Justice who signs onto this opinion is fueling the harm and violence that will happen to people who become pregnant in this country.

[POLITICO @politico]

The Supreme Court has voted to strike down Roe v. Wade, according to an initial draft majority opinion written by Justice Samuel Alito and obtained by POLITICO.

“We hold that Roe and Casey must be overruled,” Alito writes. https://t.co/nl3JFLx9xg

GVP is tabling in UpCo ALL DAY today for #DenimDay with snacks, teal ribbons, and opportunities to support survivors experiencing homelessness at the @SafeHouseCenter shelter.

[Michigan Law Gender Violence Project @mlaw_gvp]

While Denim Day officially takes place on 4/27 during final exams, we wanted to make sure that the MLaw community had a chance to participate in advocating for sexual assault survivors in our community.

[Michigan Law Gender Violence Project @mlaw_gvp]

This year, GVP is making a difference for survivors by providing high priority shelter items to Safehouse in addition to collecting monetary donations. See the attached flyer for a list of items they need a donation link!

[Michigan Law Gender Violence Project @mlaw_gvp]

#DenimDay is a global event taking place during #SexualAssaultAwarenessMonth. It is one of the longest running sexual violence prevention and education campaigns in history. This day was designed to address harmful attitudes about victim-blaming and empower survivors.

Accurate gender markers should be available for all identification cards and documents. 👏👏👏

[ACLU @ACLU]

BREAKING: The Biden administration is announcing today plans to issue passports with an “X” gender marker without requiring medical documentation.

This is a victory for trans, non-binary and intersex people who have long sought accurate federal IDs.
