This law requires women to register as sex offenders for the next 10 years, placing ‘sex offender’ on their photo identification cards, among other prescribed penalties.

We are seeking funding to support the grassroots advocacy work necessary to challenge this unjust sentencing law as part of a long-term plan address the larger web of injustices these women are moving through.
