Accountability in Action
We stand in solidarity and support of women artists, most of whom don’t even get access to basic healthcare as it is.
Our hearts go out to the following people especially:
- Women en route to get an abortion who were told they cannot be treated.
- People providing care at abortion clinics in Mississippi, Idaho, Wyoming, Utah, South Dakota, North Dakota, Louisiana, Kentucky, and Tennessee who are now out of a job.
- Women, girls, and other persons assigned female at birth face sexual violence everyday – should these nonconsensual interactions lead to pregnancies, they may be legally forced to carry that child to term. (According to RAINN, the nation’s largest anti-sexual violence organization, an American is sexually assaulted EVERY 68 SECONDS).
- Pregnant people carrying a non-viable fetus whose own health is at risk and are unable to get care–and all women of color whose maternal mortality rate in the U.S. is already 3x higher than white women.
- Those unable to afford time off work or without funds to travel to states where abortion is still legal.
- And so many more people……
If you are as enraged as we are, please reach out. We believe in the power of arts to heal and create empathy. We know first-hand the power of women artists sharing their beliefs and fighting for justice.
Getting artists who are women and underrepresented genders out there for the world to know. For the world to grow.
Athena Project is the Colorado nonprofit that celebrates and nurtures the artistic expression of women and underrepresented genders, working actively for equality of opportunity, recognition and pay based on artistic merit alone.
Women account for just 25% of the playwrights produced across the Rocky Mountain Region. Only 5% of music producers are women. Only 30% of major American museums have women directors right now…
Grow the world by changing the future for women and underrepresented genders in mainstream arts leadership.
*Athena Project recognizes that gender and identity are part of a spectrum and can be complex topics. We welcome dialogue and questions. We also wish to create a safer space for the expression and growth of all women, nonbinary, trans, intersex, genderfluid people, and people who are also members of the LGBTQIA+ community..
