Dystopian Realities: The Handmaid’s Tale and Project 2025
Quoting the National Women’s Law Center, which reviewed Project 2025: Project 2025 seeks to impose a hierarchical, gendered, patriarchal version of society. It is particularly focused on enforcing a vision of the family that relies on fixed and narrowly defined gender roles and in undermining protections that enable women and LGBTQ plus people to thrive outside of a male -dominated heterosexual family. It also seeks to reinforce racial hierarchies. through a variety of mechanisms, attempts to roll back civil rights protections, and end the federal government’s efforts to achieve gender justice are embedded throughout the entire plan in five overlapping ways. One, efforts to limit reproductive rights and penalize unmarried women. Two, attacks on protections against sex discrimination and other efforts to expand gender equity. Three, attacks on LGBTQI plus IA people. Four, gutting of diversity, equity, and inclusion efforts and other racial justice measures. And five, efforts to reduce access to and investments in anti-poverty programs by prioritizing the interests of the wealthy over the needs of low-income families who are disproportionately led by women as well as attacks on immigrant families.
