Sexual Assault Groups Stop Work With Senators Over Treatment Of Christine Blasey Ford
Advocates for survivors of sexual violence are suspending their work with the Senate Judiciary Committee to protest how senators are reacting to Christine Blasey Ford’s allegations against Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh.
“Your actions and comments in the past week have taken us back 25 years,” a coalition of advocates wrote the Senate Judiciary Committee.
For two years, a task force of national sexual assault and domestic violence groups has been working behind the scenes with the Senate Judiciary Committee to reauthorize the
Violence Against Women Act, which expires this year.
Now the National Task Force to End Sexual and Domestic Violence is suspending negotiations with the committee over its treatment of
Christine Blasey Ford, the psychology professor who says Supreme Court nominee
Brett Kavanaugh sexually assaulted her when they were teens.
