Sexual assault victims are being abandoned--just as Trump ordered
Resources to help victims and survivors of sexual assault are being denied to anyone who calls the National Sexual Assault Hotline, thanks to another bogus executive order signed by President Donald Trump.
According to The New York Times, the Rape, Abuse, and Incest National Network purged these resources from the list of referrals used by operators of the hotline, which was used by 460,000 people last year. The resources supported the LGBTQ+ community, immigrants, women, and other marginalized groups who have been targeted by Trump and the GOP.
On his second day in office, Trump signed an executive order called Ending Illegal Discrimination and Merit-Based Opportunity, which directed the federal government to pull funding from projects and organizations that reportedly support diversity, equity, and inclusion.
Trump has dedicated his administration to rolling back civil rights and advancements made over the last 100 years. This order is a central part of that push, and now its proving to be a boon for sexual abusers.
