Theresa May and Women in the UK:
Theresa May became the new Prime Minister of the UK, but many women and immigrants are not as happy as you would think. May has a track record of deporting majority migrant women,humiliating LGBT asylum seekers, mistreatment of mentally ill detainees, and has wrongly deported international students because of an English exam scam. Even though she's known for her strong stance on domestic violence, migrant women who are also victims are filling up detention centers daily. So in the eyes of some, Prime Minister May is a foe to women(rights), immigrants, and students.

Virginia:
Has officially changed their marriage age from 13 to 18 or 16(with consent),why is this important? We are one step closer to stopping child marriages and combating sex trafficking (An issue rarely spoken about when we talk about sexual health)
New York:
The state has officially passed a legislation making it mandatory to access menstrual products in public schools, shelters, and correction facilities.With the tampon tax looming over our heads and the lack of affordable, safe menstrual products becoming a norm, this is a great step in changing the period rhetoric. It's the first state in the nation to enact this kind of legislation and hopeful it won't be the last.
