RAINN, a prominent organization against sexual assault, has removed references to transgender individuals from its website to adhere to federal funding criteria set by Trump's executive orders. This decision, reported by The Washington Post, reflects the risks organizations face in losing federal support if they do not comply. Although RAINN maintains that its mission and services remain unchanged and inclusive, the move highlights the challenges faced by trans individuals, who experience significantly higher rates of sexual violence compared to the general population. Other organizations, such as NSVRC, are also adjusting their online resources in response to these pressures.
The Rape, Abuse and Incest National Network (RAINN) has removed mentions of transgender people from its website to comply with federal funding requirements under President Trump's executive orders.
Trans individuals face a disproportionate risk of sexual violence, as indicated by studies showing they are four times more likely to be victims of violent crime.
RAINN assured that despite these changes, their mission remains unchanged and services continue to be available to all survivors of sexual violence.
