NOW S/M POLICY REFORM PROJECT |
|
Members of the National Organization for Women formed the S/M Policy Reform Project to change NOW's current policy against S/M. The S/M PRP upholds the rights of adults to engage in any safe, sane and consensual sexual expression that they so choose, including S/M. We need people (men and women) to sign the S/M Policy Reform Statement that S/M is not violence nor detrimental to a woman's mental or physical well-being. We can help you to get involved in your local NOW chapter. |

NLA: INTERNATIONAL LAW INFORMATION PROJECT |
|
This project is aimed at gathering data/information related to the law and S/M. Too often we hear anecdotal tales of members of our community facing legal problems related to their participation in S/M without getting actual details of what happened. The Law Information Project (LIP) seeks to change that by compiling real data about such cases. Hopefully, such data will serve as a resource to attorney's and members of our community who may face similar problems. If you know of a case in which someone engaging in consensual S/M was: charged with, convicted of or acquitted of a crime such as assault; lost his/her children during a custody dispute, divorce or state agency action; etc., or cases of Professional Dominants arrested for prostitution, etc., please send as many details as you can. LIP volunteers can then do the follow up research on the court file and be able to get a complete picture of what happened in the case. They would also like to hear about laws in your state, county or city which relate to S/M activity - E.g., wearing of uniforms, carrying handcuffs, knifes, nudity in public and in bars, flagellation in bars, selling play piercing needles, etc. Send your information to:
