TW: talk of sexual violence.
I think that some of the most pressing issues for women, girls, and trans/nonbinary people in my community include exclusion from many spaces when it comes to making decisions. One huge example of a space is how we are seeing a massive lack of female representation on topics such as women and queer people's health in government and resulting from that a discontinuance in grants to topics including them. Another issue includes sexual assault, violence, fear, and public response when a woman comes forward with her story. And another issue specific to trans and nonbinary people are attempts at erasure toward their existence such as taking the T away in LGBTQ+ on government websites or calling it a "mental disorder." Another pressing issue that women are facing is a lack of reproductive health education.
