Background

Raquel M. Rosario Sanchez is from the Dominican Republic. She has published work in Meghan Murphy’s Feminist Current, The Critic, and Quillette.

2018 University of Bristol incident

Rosario Sanchez began a PhD course at the University of Bristol in January 2018. Her focus was online communities for men who pay for sex, part of her work ending violence against girls and women. 

In November 2017 Woman’s Place UK asked her to chair its upcoming meeting in Bristol, scheduled for 8 February 2018. During protests, Rosario Sanchez claimed that the university had failed to protect her from a “hate campaign” over the event.

She unsuccessfully sued the school.
