Women & Victim's Rights
In our ongoing efforts to champion women and victims' rights, our office has introduced numerous pieces of legislation this year alone. From combatting cybercrimes and human trafficking, to addressing violence perpetrated against women by illegal aliens, we're dedicated to enhancing accountability and imposing stricter penalties on perpetrators of violence against women.
More on Women & Victim's Rights
The hypocrisy is staggering.
The Democratic Party claims to be pro-woman, yet they want to take away women’s rights.
They say they protect underage girls, yet they’re pushing to put men in our bathrooms, showers, and locker rooms.
Women’s spaces matter. Girls’ safety matters. Real women matter.
HOLD THE LINE.
CHARLESTON, S.C. (Jan. 28, 2026) — Congresswoman Nancy Mace (SC-01) today issued the following statement after learning a transgender named “Rem Heathen” whose real name is Michael Richard Fadich, the Antifa violent extremist who posted a death threat against Rep. Mace in May 2025, has been arrested and charged with attempted murder in Oregon:
In May 2025, Fadich posted a graphic on Instagram depicting a gun pointed directly at Rep. Mace’s face. The message was unmistakable: he wanted her dead.
I've called for accountability from judges, prosecutors, and attorney generals for a long time.
I've said it before and I'll say it again: impeach corrupt, activist judges.
Now an attorney named Robert Merting in South Carolina is trying to hold me in contempt for saying so.
He wants me thrown in jail for exercising my First Amendment right to call for the impeachment of public officials.
This is outrageous and unacceptable. And the local media won't even cover it.
Travis Reed Gaye faced 70 years in jail on 7 charges in South Carolina. After AG Alan Wilson's office prosecuted him, he pled guilty in November and got PROBATION. No jail time. 11 days later, he violated his probation. He was supposed to serve time. Instead? A judge let him out hours later. He STILL hasn't served his required time.
Protecting children isn't political, it's personal and nonpartisan.
Last week in South Carolina, over a dozen mothers joined us at a press conference, outraged a convicted child sex offender was released within hours of violating probation, just 11 days after conviction.
Despite a media blackout, one brave child saw the predator from our press conference and came forward immediately to file a police report.
This kind of courage reminds us why this work matters.
Paris Hilton stood before us and revealed a devastating truth: over 100,000 explicit deepfake images of her are circulating online. None are real. None are consensual.
We stood shoulder to shoulder with members from both sides of the aisle because this isn't about politics, it's about protecting women and girls.
Deepfake porn is an epidemic which is destroying lives. The DEFIANCE Act will finally give survivors the power to fight back. We owe this to every woman suffering in silence. HOLD THE LINE.
We know first-hand, the trauma and weight survivors carry for the rest of their lives.
Not only the trauma of assaults, but the re-traumatization of living every day knowing you've been recorded. Knowing you no longer have control of your body or dignity.
It is more important now than ever before for Congress to do everything in our power to stop the spread of online exploitation and protect victims.
The press conference the media doesn't want you to see.
We stood with over one dozen mothers demanding answers.
Why aren't predators being prosecuted in South Carolina? Why is our children's safety being put last?
Since the media refuses to cover it, WE will.
Watch the full press conference they don't want you to see.
Share it everywhere. Silence protects predators. Our kids deserve better.
WASHINGTON, D.C. (Jan. 22, 2026) – During yesterday’s House Oversight Committee hearing on holding former President Bill Clinton and former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton in contempt of Congress for ignoring a Congressional subpoena to appear in front of the House Oversight Committee, Congresswoman Nancy Mace delivered searing remarks condemning political hypocrisy, media silence, and a justice system which fails victims of sex trafficking, abuse, and violent crimes.
The justice system in South Carolina is BROKEN.
Victims of domestic violence can't get trials.
Sex trafficking is up over 400%.
Convicted pedophiles are being let out of jail with no time served.
Criminals with RAP sheets listing over 30 violent crimes are walking free to murder or reoffend.
NOTHING IS BEING DONE ABOUT ANY OF IT.
