| FORM 990, PART III, lINE 1: | The Center envisions a world where every person participates with dignity as an equal member of society, regardless of gender. Where every woman is free to decide whether or when to have children and whether to get married; where access to quality reproductive health care is guaranteed; and where every woman can make these decisions free from coercion or discrimination. The Center for Reproductive Rights (the Center) is a non-profit global human rights organization that uses the power of law to advance reproductive rights as fundamental human rights around the world. Its game-changing litigation, policy, and advocacy work combined with its unparalleled expertise in constitutional, international, and comparative human rights law have transformed how reproductive rights are understood by courts, governments, and human rights bodies. The Center has played a key role in securing legal victories in the U.S., Latin America, Sub-Saharan Africa, Asia, and Europe on issues including access to life-saving obstetrics care, contraception, and safe abortion services. In addition, the Center has built the legal capacity of womens rights advocates in over 60 countries through its Pro Bono program and legal networks. |
| FORM 990, PART III, LINE 4A: | U.S. Legal Program: The U.S. Legal program strives to protect and advance reproductive liberty and access to reproductive health care in the united states by employing diverse strategies grounded in the center's legal expertise via litigation and legal advocacy. the legal victories of the U.S. legal program - including a landmark 2016 u.s. supreme court decision affirming a woman's right to access abortion and striking down abortion Texas restrictions, constituting an "undue burden" of the constitutional rights of women - have helped millions of women and their families by striking down abortion bans and other restrictions on access to reproductive health care, securing coverage for reproductive health services available through government - sponsored health insurance programs and protecting access to emergency contraception and confidential reproductive health care. the center's u.s. policy and advocacy team works at the local, state and national levels to protect and promote reproductive rights and health. it advocates for domestic and foreign policy that advances reproductive health and freedom, which allows women and families to prosper. The legal victories of the U.S. legal program include two U.S. Supreme Court victories in the last five years: 1) the 2020 U.S. Supreme Court decision in June Medical Services v. Russo which allowed abortion clinics in Louisiana to stay open to serve the one million women of reproductive age in the state; and 2) the landmark 2016 U.S. Supreme Court decision in Whole Woman's Health v. Hellerstedt affirming a woman's right to access abortion and striking down abortion restriction in Texas, constituting an "undue burden" of the constitutional rights of women. |
| FORM 990, PART III, LINE 4B: | Global Legal Program: The global legal program works to establish and maintain legal protections for reproductive rights at the national, regional, and international levels to improve the reality of women's lives with respect to their reproductive health. we are the recognized global leader in using the law to advance reproductive freedom, autonomy, and access to health care as fundamental human rights that governments are obligated to protect, respect, and fulfill. For nearly 30 years, our innovative legal strategies have been a driving force in many of the most important advances in reproductive rights law worldwide, and in broadening how human rights are understood and applied to some of the most pressing challenges societies face today. Our groundbreaking cases before national courts, united nations committees, and regional human rights bodies have dramatically expanded access to reproductive health care and redressed rights violations. |
