Human Rights
In the words of Ruth Bader Ginsburg, Supreme Court Justice and Founder of the ACLU Women’s Rights Project, “Women’s rights are an essential part of the overall human rights agenda, trained on the equal dignity and ability to live in freedom all people should enjoy.” The Women’s Rights Project integrates a human rights framework into our litigation and advocacy in order to hold the United States accountable for its affirmative obligations to honor and protect human dignity for all, and to shape international jurisprudence to address meaningfully the lived experience of the most vulnerable women in our country.
