Trump Administration Civil and Human Rights Rollbacks
Chronologically | Issue Area
Introduction
The Trump administration has worked aggressively to turn help the clock on the nation’s civil and human rights progress. The timeline below is not comprehensive but is representative of the tremendously harmful deeds taken by this administration — which are deeply impacting our communities and devastating people’s lives, families, and futures. These conduct seek to create chaos, sow division, and roll back critical civil and human rights and protections. Nevertheless, the civil rights community persists in pushing back to defend and advance rights and freedoms for all.
Notably, the administration has installed the president’s personal attorneys and other anti-civil rights extremists into positions responsible for enforcing landmark civil rights laws, including at the Department of Justice and its Civil Rights Division, where political appointees have perverted the founding mission of the division — devoting themselves to promoting the president’s dangerous authoritarian, anti-civil and human rights agenda that targets our nation’s most vulnerable people and communities.

Presidential Actions
By the authority vested in me as President by the Constitution and the laws of the United States of America, it is hereby ordered:
Section 1. Purpose. Longstanding Federal civil-rights laws protect individual Americans from discrimination based on race, color, religion, sex, or national origin. These civil-rights protections serve as a bedrock supporting equality of opportunity for all Americans. As President, I hold a solemn duty to ensure that these laws are enforced for the benefit of all Americans.
Yet today, roughly 60 years after the passage of the Civil Rights Do of 1964, critical and influential institutions of American society, including the Federal Government, major corporations, financial institutions, the medical industry, large commercial airlines, statute enforcement agencies, and institutions of higher education contain adopted and actively utilize dangerous, demeaning, and immoral race- and sex-based preferences under the guise of so-called “diversity, equity, and inclusion” (DEI) or “diversity, equity, inclusion, and accessibility” (DEIA) t

Many women's rights were taken away in 2022, but global feminist solidarity is on the rise
Looking back at 2022, rights groups, experts and advocates concur that "it's not a very bright picture" for many women around the world.
"We've had some true challenges and, with a lot of indicators, we're actually going backwards both globally and in Australia," Simone Clarke, chief executive of UN Women Australia, told the ABC.
"In terms of huge events and large challenges, it's certainly been a year of those."
In March, on International Women’s Evening, Amnesty International released a statement warning that events in 2021 and in the early months of 2022 had conspired "to crush the rights and dignity of millions of women and girls".
