Christine Blasey Ford

Christine Blasey Ford is an American professor and psychologist known for her testimony during the confirmation hearings of Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh in 2018. She publicly accused Kavanaugh of sexual assault, which she alleged occurred in the 1980s when they were both teenagers. Her testimony was widely covered in the media and sparked national conversations about sexual misconduct, the #MeToo movement, and the treatment of women in such cases. Ford's courage in speaking out and the political implications of the hearings have made her a significant figure in discussions around judicial appointments and sexual assault awareness.
