Christine Blasey Ford named 'Person of the Year' in awards honoring champions against sexual violence
Christine Blasey Ford has been named Person of the Year in a new awards program by an organization called Raliance, whose goal is to end sexual violence.
In a statement, Raliance, which issues a series of awards to honor champions against sexual violence, said organizers chose Ford because she was a"passionate and public champion for survivors of sexual assault. Along with Ford, Raliance also honored Representative Gwen Moore, a Wisconsin Democrat, with its Policy Maker Award, celebrating the congresswoman for her work as a"tireless advocate for women's rights and civil rights issues, including sexual assault, domestic violence and women's health.
Indira Henard, the executive director of the D.C. Rape Crisis Center, was also honored for her efforts as a"community leader who has made significant contributions on a national and local level, particularly during Brett Kavanaugh's confirmation hearings."
