Overview
This grant would support the Reproductive Rights and Health Program of the National Women's Law Center, a highly regarded, multi-issue advocacy organization that uses a range of tools-research and analysis, litigation, coalition building, and public education-to promote better reproductive rights and health policies and advance the rights of women and girls. In the coming year, it will (1) monitor implementation of health care reform legislation to ensure the maximum benefit for women's reproductive health and rights, advocating when problems are discovered; (2) promote policies to prevent unplanned pregnancy by improving access to contraception and sex education; (3) safeguard women's access to abortion, including Medicaid coverage for low-income women; (4) counter the threat of religious restrictions to women's access to reproductive health care; and (5) continue as a watchdog and resource for the pro-choice movement on federal judicial nominations.

Grants to this Grantee
for support of the Health Care & Reproductive Rights program
This grant will support the National Women’s Law Center (NWLC), a multi-issue gender justice organization with nearly a half-century of experience and expertise. Reproductive rights are squarely at the center of the larger movement for full equality and empowerment. NWLC uses the law in all its forms to change culture and drive solutions to the gender inequity that shapes society — and to break down the barriers that harm all of us, especially those who face multiple forms of discrimination, including women of color, LGBTQ+ people, and low-income women and families.
