For over 50 years, NWLC has been leading the fight to defend Title IX and eradicate all forms of sex discrimination in school and fight for gender equity. Now, far-right extremists are promoting anti-trans misinformation that violates and undermines the promise of Title IX.
We will never stop fighting to make sure everyone can live authentically, without fear and discrimination, especially for women, girls, and the LGBTQIA+ community.
Make a donation to ensure NWLC has the tools and resources to counter all extremist attacks and every dollar will be spent fighting for a more just and equitable world.
Affirmative action programs have played a critical role in opening up educational opportunities for women ― but now, equal access to education is under attack.
A federal law, Title IX, makes it illegal for schools to discriminate against students because of their sex ― which means that girls have the same right to play as boys.
For young parents, parenthood isn’t the end of the road. It’s essential that pregnant and parenting students not only have equal access to education, but also receive support to help them succeed in school.
For students who are at risk of dropping out or who are pushed out of school ― many of whom are girls of color ― equal educational opportunities remain out of reach.
Traditionally male-dominated careers, like construction and engineering, tend to offer better pay than traditionally female fields. Women deserve equal access to career and technical education programs in fields leading to high-wage, high-skill, and high-demand jobs.
Both sexual harassment and sexual violence are prohibited in schools under federal law ― yet many students still experience harassment and assault, which can have a devastating impact on their lives.
Federal law requires all students to be treated equally in school, regardless of gender. That means schools can’t separate classes based on gender stereotypes that harm both boys and girls.
