Sister Code of Conduct

 

Statement of Purpose: WoLF’s mission is to restore, protect, and advance the rights of women and girls. Sisters are expected to understand WoLF’s mission and act in accordance with WoLF’s mission in all projects.

WoLF’s four main focus areas are abolishing gender ideology, abolishing male violence, abolishing commercial sexual exploitation, and achieving women’s reproductive sovereignty.

Abolishing gender ideology: WoLF recognizes the harm gender ideology does to women and girls and seeks to facilitate a cultural shift away from gender roles and sex stereotypes. Sisterhood with WoLF signifies a full commitment to abolishing gender.

Abolishing male violence: WoLF recognizes that male violence poses a serious threat to women’s safety and sovereignty. Sisters oppose male violence, especially against women and girls, and support survivors of male violence.

Abolishing commercial sexual exploitation: WoLF is unalterably opposed to pornography and prostitution as violence against women. Sisters recognize that the sex industry is exploitative and that no one “chooses” to be sexually exploited.

Achieving women’s reproductive sovereignty: WoLF defends women’s body sovereignty, unapologetically supports the right to abortion on demand and the right to contraception, and opposes surrogacy and the commodification of women’s bodies. Likewise, WoLF opposes coerced sterilization, coerced abortion, and coerced contraception. Sisters acknowledge that women’s bodies are not for the use of others, and support every woman’s right to sole control over her own reproductive medical treatment.

All WoLF Sisters are expected to adhere to the WoLF Sister Code of Conduct in their interactions with other people, both online and in person.

As a WoLF Sister, I agree to do the following:

  • I will treat all people with respect. When I disagree with someone, online or offline, I will rely on the strength of WoLF’s mission rather than engaging in personal attack. 

  • I will not act as a representative of WoLF unless expressly authorized to do so, including use of phrases such as 'I represent WoLF' or 'I am affiliated with WoLF,' and I will not use WoLF's logo or imagery in any context where I could be perceived as speaking or acting on behalf of WoLF without explicit permission. I will contact WoLF if I have any questions regarding public appearances.

  • I will not abuse WoLF resources and I will not take actions or make representations that would in any way harm WoLF’s good name.

  • I will not disclose and will take reasonable precautions to protect the identities and personal information of other WoLF Sisters.

I understand the following:

  • WoLF reserves the right to change the Sister Code of Conduct. The Sister Code of Conduct posted on the WoLF website is the accurate Code of Conduct at any given time.

  • WoLF reserves the right to revoke Sisterhood at any time and for any reason.

  • If I believe that a WoLF Sister has violated the Code of Conduct, I understand that I can contact sisters@womensliberationfront.org and explain my concerns. I understand that WoLF will follow internal processes to respond to my report.
