January's Awareness & Prevention Campaigns


Every January, advocates & survivors mobilize together in two different, but deeply interconnected, campaigns: Stalking Awareness & Prevention Month and Human Trafficking Awareness & Prevention Month.


These issues have serious impacts across the nation, and Idaho communities are no exception.


Both issues are prevalent across the state, particularly for minoritizied and/or rural communities. Sometimes these issues occur outside of sexual & domestic violence, but these issues all contribute to gender-based violence and feed from systemic oppression.


It is our collective duty to amplify awareness & prevention for stalking & human trafficking, not only in January but throughout our 2024.

Join Us in Celebration:

Families Block an Idaho Law Banning Healthcare for Trans Youth


Just before the new year, we celebrated a victory for transgender youth, their families, and their medical providers: A federal judge blocked the enactment of a new Idaho law created to ban gender-affirming care for trans people in Idaho under 18 years old.


The block on this healthcare ban is a feat for our movements against gender-based violence. When we restrict people's bodily autonomy, we create ripe conditions for sexual & domestic violence. This recent block fuels a safe(r) future for Idahoans.


The ACLU of Idaho, Wrest Collective, and others in beloved community made this celebration possible. Although their work continues, it is imperative to pause and recognize their achievement.
