National Center on Sexual Exploitation (NCOSE) Releases A Groundbreaking New Report about Image-Based Sexual Abuse Perpetuated by Pornography Industry.
Recently, GFWC International President Suellen B. Brazil attended “Not A Fantasy” event in support of NCOSE’s release of new report titled “Not A Fantasy: How the Pornography Industry Exploits Image-Based Sexual Abuse in Real Life.” This report pulls back the curtain on how mainstream pornography platforms, i.e., Porn-hub, XVideos, XNXX, and xHamster have and/or continue to fuel the global crisis of image-based sexual abuse (IBSA).
NCOSE’s work directly correlates to GFWC’s advocacy work by way of its "Signature Program: Domestic and Sexual Violence Awareness and Prevention" and the "Juniors’ Special Program: Advocates for Children" as pornography influences domestic, sexual, and child abuse nationally and internationally.
To learn more about NCOSE, visit: endsexualexploitation.org/
You can download a copy of the “Not A Fantasy” report via the following link:

It's WHRC Wednesday! Many of our members are getting ready for the annual GFWC Convention, happening at the end of next week in Atlanta, Georgia. This year's meeting includes the usual assortment of business sessions, informative lectures and workshops, and social events–a fun and busy mix of activities that might require careful packing when it comes to attendees' attire and accessories.
One of those accessories from a past convention lives large (literally) in the WHRC collection: a handmade delegate ribbon, over a foot long from top to bottom, from the 1952 GFWC Annual Convention in Minneapolis, Minnesota. A 5" diameter red crepe paper carnation (now sadly squashed), affixed to a paper doily, tops a 9" white paper ribbon printed boldly with "INDIANA." But why??
The ribbon makes more sense when you know that Mildred Ahlgren of Indiana was elected GFWC's International President at that 1952 convention, and the delegates from Ahlgren's home state were given strict instructions on how best to champion their candidate throughout the event. They were to mingle amongst other state federations, "APPLAUD" after Ahlgren's speech, "help Indiana sing" at various events, "be dignified at all times," campaign wherever they could (though not, of course, in the convention hall itself!), and most importantly, "wear your Indiana badge at all times. Even with evening clothes." Seems like it worked (though I wonder if there were grumbles about combining "be dignified" and "wear your ribbon.")
…So if you're attending the 2025 convention and thinking about your wardrobe, be glad you don't have to coordinate it with an enormous paper corsage!
🌺 Indiana delegate ribbon, GFWC Convention, 1952. Gift of Mildred Carlson Ahlgren. Memorabilia collection, 1952.5.1

Turn Awareness into Action for Mental Health
Every year since 1949, when Mental Health America founded Mental Health Awareness Month in May, GFWC has been at the forefront promoting public awareness activities to educate the masses on this prevalent and ever evolving health concern.
Mental health affects everyone in one degree or another on a personal level. You may experience a mental health crisis due to any significant life occurrence(s) or maybe you have a family member who has been personally impacted.
Regardless of your personal experience with mental health illnesses, let`s collectively rally to do all we can to educate the public about the importance of taking care of one another and let`s advocate to remove the stigma associated with it.
Visit the @Mental Health America to learn more on this subject and how you too can become an advocate of action. For more information on activities, visit: https://mhanational.org/mental-health-month/action-guide/
Also, don`t forget to checkout The Yellow Tulip Project, founded by Julia Hansen and her mother Suzanne Fox, GFWC Honorary Chairman. The organization`s purpose is to let people know that "Hope Happens" and we need to come together as a community to smash the stigma surrounding mental health disorders.

Turn Awareness into Action for Mental Health
Every year since 1949, when Mental Health America founded Mental Health Awareness Month in May, GFWC has been at the forefront promoting public awareness activities to educate the masses on this prevalent and ever evolving health concern.
Mental health affects everyone in one degree or another on a personal level. You may experience a mental health crisis due to any significant life occurrence(s) or maybe you have a family member who has been personally impacted.
Regardless of your personal experience with mental health illnesses, let`s collectively rally to do all we can to educate the public about the importance of taking care of one another and let`s advocate to remove the stigma associated with it.
Visit the @Mental Health America to learn more on this subject and how you too can become an advocate of action. For more information on activities, visit: https://mhanational.org/mental-health-month/action-guide/
