Since 1972, the Center has expanded the possibilities for women and girls in this country. The Center uses the law in all its forms: getting new laws on the books and enforced; litigating ground-breaking cases in state and federal courts all the way to the Supreme Court; and educating the public ../about.php ways to make the law and public policies work for women and their families. An experienced staff of nearly 50 takes on the issues that cut to the core of women's and girls' lives in education, employment, family economic security, and health -- with special attention given to the needs of low-income women and their families.
Women's health is jeopardized by limited access to health care; reproductive rights are under concerted attack; and women's health needs are often overlooked. The Center's Health program is fighting to protect reproductive rights, increase women's access to health insurance, and promote policies that advance and protect women's health on the state and federal levels. Current priorities include educating policy makers and the public ../about.php the need to protect and promote women's fundamental reproductive rights; pioneering new legal theories to ensure that health care providers do not refuse to address women's reproductive health needs; highlighting the best public policies for improving women's health; fighting to protect Medicaid; and enforcing rights to gain access to contraceptive coverage.
