Thanks for using my photos, in For poor DC residents, safety from sexual violence means access – Greater Greater Washington

Thanks for using my photos, @ggwash and @TheJessicaRaven, and for the important piece on disparities in safety.

Thanks also to Washington, DC for leading the nation in the conversation and gathering first-of-its-kind data:

A 2017 DC Human Rights study showed that 48 percent of DC employers preferred a less qualified cisgender applicant over a more qualified transgender applicant. The study found that employment discrimination rates were highest in DC’s restaurant industry — and in every industry — the unemployment rate is higher among trans people of color.

I wrote about this study previously:

Not everything has been done that can be, as Ruby Corado (@casarubydc) famously said:

As local businesses and agencies work to respond to sexual harassment and make public spaces safer, they must also ask themselves: safer for who?
