About: Alliance Against Sexual Coercion

The Alliance Against Sexual Coercion (AASC), established in June 1976 by Freada Kapor Klein, Lynn Wehrli, and Elizabeth Cohn-Stuntz, was among the first US organizations to organize against sexual harassment and severe sexual coercion experienced by working women. They argued that sexual harassment toward women holds the idea/ stereotype that women are less than men making it harder for women in the work place. Many feminist groups worked toward gaining right, but these rights were only useful to white women. Black women were effected a lot because of their Intersectionality. These women were subjected to racism and sexism making them one of the major works of AASC.
