Hand Maids Act

THE HANDMAID’S ACT



An Act to Recognize and Enforce the Civil, Human, and Bodily Rights of Females, with Companion Universal Protections and the Elon Musk Act






PREAMBLE & DECLARATION OF FEMALE PERSONHOOD



We, the people, affirm and declare that women and girls are full human persons, not property, not wards of the state, not reproductive instruments, and not subject to ownership, surveillance, or control by any government, institution, corporation, religious body, or private actor.


The rights of females are inherent, natural, and pre-existing. These rights do not arise from contracts, licenses, marital status, guardianship, employment, religion, medical classification, administrative permission, or commercial designation. They are not derived from maritime law, commercial status, or any legal fiction that reduces a human being to cargo, property, or biological resource.


No authority may lawfully suspend, condition, monitor, register, predict, infer, restrict, or barter the bodily integrity, movement, speech, privacy, or autonomy of females.


Sex-based surveillance, reproductive coercion, forced dependency, confinement, exploitation, and abuse constitute violations of fundamental human and civil rights, regardless of justification offered under public health, safety, emergency powers, religious doctrine, institutional policy, or private governance.


Any system that treats females as biological vessels, reproductive resources, data points, or subordinate classes is incompatible with a free society and must be dismantled.


This Act is enacted to recognize, protect, and enforce the rights of all females—from birth through adulthood—and to provide immediate remedies where those rights are violated.






DECLARATION



Females are sovereign persons under the law.
Female bodies are not subject to registration, surveillance, or ownership.
Female movement is not a privilege and shall not be conditioned or restricted.
Female speech, sex-based language, and biological reality are protected expressions.
Female autonomy shall not be overridden by coercion, dependency, authority, or doctrine.
Any law, policy, contract, practice, or doctrine in conflict with these principles is null and void.






SECTION 1. PURPOSE AND FINDINGS



Females possess inherent and inalienable rights by virtue of personhood.
Sex-based surveillance and coercion constitute discrimination and abuse.
Such violations may occur through governmental, private, institutional, corporate, religious, educational, medical, or digital means.
The purpose of this Act is to prohibit all forms of sex-based control, surveillance, coercion, exploitation, confinement, and abuse of females and to mandate immediate enforcement and remedies.






SECTION 2. DEFINITIONS



For purposes of this Act:


“Female” means a human being of the female sex, from birth onward.
“Girl” means a female under the age of eighteen (0–17).
“Woman” means a female aged eighteen or older (18+).
“Entity” includes any government body, agency, subdivision, contractor, corporation, nonprofit, employer, healthcare provider, educational institution, religious institution, digital platform, or private individual acting in an official, supervisory, or coercive capacity.
“Surveillance” includes collection, monitoring, inference, prediction, analysis, storage, sharing, or use of biological, medical, behavioral, or reproductive data.
“Reproductive data” includes menstrual cycles, ovulation, fertility status, pregnancy, miscarriage, abortion history, blood samples, urine samples, hormonal data, genetic data, or any biological marker related to sex or reproduction.
“Consent” is invalid if obtained through coercion, threat, deception, intimidation, economic pressure, loss of employment, education, housing, healthcare, benefits, custody, or freedom of movement.
“Abuse” includes physical violence, sexual violence, psychological abuse, coercive control, intimidation, surveillance, financial control, confinement, or forced dependency.







SECTION 3. BODILY AUTONOMY AND MEDICAL PRIVACY



No Entity shall require, compel, coerce, monitor, collect, infer, predict, or disclose reproductive or biological data of any female.
No blood tests, urine tests, medical screenings, monitoring devices, registries, or biological sampling shall be required on the basis of sex.
Protections apply to all females from birth onward (ages 0+).
Parental authority, guardianship, institutional authority, employment conditions, educational requirements, medical protocols, or public health justifications shall not override these protections.







SECTION 4. FREEDOM OF MOVEMENT



No Entity shall restrict, condition, monitor, track, or prohibit the domestic or international travel of any female.
Travel shall not be conditioned upon medical clearance, reproductive data, documentation, registries, permissions, or disclosures.
Any sex-based restriction of movement constitutes unlawful detention.







SECTION 5. PERSONHOOD AND NON-DISCRIMINATION



Females are full legal persons with equal dignity, rights, and protections under the law.
No policy, classification, or practice shall treat females as property, vessels, reproductive tools, or subordinate classes.
The suppression, replacement, prohibition, or compelled alteration of sex-based terms—including “female,” “woman,” or “girl”—constitutes unlawful discrimination.







SECTION 6. DOMESTIC VIOLENCE AND ABUSE PROTECTIONS



Any female subjected to abuse shall have immediate access to:
a. Safe exit from the abusive environment
b. Emergency housing
c. Financial independence and protection
d. Expedited divorce, custody, and protective orders
Psychological abuse, coercive control, and surveillance-based abuse are recognized as actionable harm.
No waiting periods, reconciliation mandates, or procedural delays shall apply where abuse is alleged.







SECTION 7. PROHIBITION OF EXPLOITATION AND REPRODUCTIVE CONTROL



Forced pregnancy, forced sterilization, reproductive coercion, sexual exploitation, trafficking, slavery, and indentured servitude are prohibited.
Any contract, agreement, policy, doctrine, or practice purporting to justify such acts is void ab initio.







SECTION 8. APPLICABILITY AND SUPREMACY



This Act applies equally to all public and private entities, including religious and educational institutions.
No claim of religious freedom, public safety, emergency authority, parental authority, or institutional autonomy shall override this Act.







SECTION 9. ENFORCEMENT AND REMEDIES



Violations of this Act shall result in:
a. Immediate suspension or termination of public funding
b. Removal from office, employment, or position of authority
c. Criminal penalties as applicable
d. Civil liability and a private right of action for victims
Enforcement shall be mandatory, immediate, and non-discretionary.







SECTION 10. SEVERABILITY



If any provision of this Act is held invalid, such invalidity shall not affect the remaining provisions, which shall remain in full force and effect.






COMPANION ARTICLE: UNIVERSAL PROTECTIONS AGAINST SEXUAL VIOLENCE, COERCION, AND EXPLOITATION





SECTION 11. PURPOSE AND FINDINGS



Sexual violence, coercive control, exploitation, and abuse are violations of fundamental human rights regardless of sex, age, or disability status. Boys, men, and persons with physical, intellectual, developmental, or psychiatric disabilities are disproportionately underreported victims.






SECTION 12. DEFINITIONS



“Protected person” = any human being, regardless of sex, gender identity, age, or disability
“Sexual violence” = sexual assault, rape, sexual coercion, exploitation, forced acts, or non-consensual contact
“Coercive control” = domination through surveillance, intimidation, isolation, dependency, or manipulation







SECTION 13. UNIVERSAL BODILY AUTONOMY AND PROTECTION



No protected person shall be subjected to:
a. Sexual violence, exploitation, or trafficking
b. Forced sexual acts or exposure
c. Coercive control, confinement, or surveillance
d. Forced medical or psychological procedures absent judicial review
Consent is invalid if obtained via force, threat, deception, or abuse of authority






SECTION 14. RECOGNITION AND PROTECTION OF MALE VICTIMS



Boys and men are recognized as victims and shall have equal access to medical, forensic, trauma-informed care, protective orders, civil remedies, and criminal prosecution of offenders.






SECTION 15. PROTECTIONS FOR PERSONS WITH DISABILITIES



Consent presumed invalid where capacity is impaired or dependency exploited
Guardians cannot authorize sexual activity, sterilization, experimentation, or bodily intrusion
Exceptions must be medically necessary, least restrictive, judicially reviewed, and time-limited







SECTION 16. INSTITUTIONAL AND CARE SETTINGS



Hospitals, psychiatric institutions, residential facilities, schools, foster care, and correctional centers carry enhanced protections
Mandatory reporting applies to all supervisory and professional personnel
Retaliation against reporters or victims is prohibited







SECTION 17. ENFORCEMENT AND REMEDIES



Criminal prosecution, civil liability, removal from authority, termination of funding, permanent disqualification from caregiving roles
Victims have private right of action; statutes of limitation tolled where capacity, dependency, or institutional control delayed disclosure







SECTION 18. RELATIONSHIP TO ARTICLE I



This Companion Article supplements, not limits, the sex-specific protections in Article I. Where overlap occurs, the stronger protection governs.






SECTION 19. ELON MUSK ACT PROVISIONS



Any person or entity, including high-profile individuals or corporate actors, shall be prohibited from:
a. Abducting, coercing, or controlling any individual of any age or gender
b. Converting, altering, or manipulating the mind, body, or soul of any individual by technological, biological, or psychological means
c. Threatening, intimidating, or using force to achieve control over another individual
Violations constitute a felony with penalties including imprisonment, permanent prohibition from corporate or research leadership, and civil restitution.
Extraterritorial authority: Violators may be investigated, apprehended, or prosecuted internationally. No foreign-state immunity shall shield violators from enforcement under this Act.







SECTION 20. FINAL STATEMENT



This Act affirms: women and girls are people—not data, not vessels, not property. Abuse thrives wherever power is unchecked; no person—female, male, disabled, or child—shall be invisible under the law.
