Since 1972, the National Women’s Law 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 ways to make the law and public

policies work for women and their families. An experienced staff 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.

During my time as Board Chair I have seen the Center’s impactgrow. Using the law in all its forms, the Center’s experienced staffhas succeeded in improving women’s lives in education, employ-ment, family economic security and health. During good timesand bad, the Center has both increased the rights of women andgirls and kept these rights from contracting.

The country needed the Center more than ever this year as thenation faced not only an economic downturn and budget pressures,but a war that took an emotional and fiscal toll on the country.

In the face of these daunting challenges, the Center was able toscore significant victories, including for the most vulnerablewomen and their families. Over the past year, the Center:

■ stopped the U.S. Department of Education from takingapart longstanding Title IX athletic policies that haveopened the doors for so many women and girls;

■ secured a 50% reduction in the size of the 2003 tax cut,conserving more federal resources for critical programs,as co-chair of the Fair Taxes for All coalition;

■ improved tax policies that help pay for child care andeducated working families about the tax breaks that canhelp them meet their family care needs;

■ won insurance coverage of prescription contraceptives forthousands of women around the country; and

■ provided expert testimony on the standards the Senateshould apply when confirming federal judicial nominees,helping to prevent some of the most extreme nomineesfrom being confirmed.

It has been an honor to serve as the Board Chair of the Centerover the past seven years. I followed my mother, BeatriceColeman, on to the Board after her death. No philanthropiccommitment mattered to her as much as the Center, and no issuemattered to her more than advancing and protecting the rights ofwomen. It continues to be an honor to follow in the footsteps ofsomeone I loved and admired so much.

Many freedoms and improvements in the lives of women we takefor granted are due in large part to the good work of organiza-tions like the National Women’s Law Center.Yet, the Centercould not have moved forward on these efforts without the con-tinued assistance of its friends and supporters.Together, with theseasoned staff and committed Board, I look forward to manymore years of extraordinary work by the Center.

Thank you.

We have faced many serious challenges this past year, so it is all themore gratifying to be able to share some important victories inthis annual report. Our victories have strengthened the rights ofstudents in school, of working women and men struggling to meetfamily obligations, and of individual citizens who simply ask to betreated with dignity.

But we know these victories are fragile, and that the year aheadbrings even more difficult challenges that the Center must con-front.There are serious threats to our most private health choicesand to a judiciary that will protect our rights. Once again tax cutsare on the agenda, and well-funded anti-government forces areleading the charge. Policies are being advanced that would radical-ly reshape, and potentially dismantle, the Head Start program thathas successfully served our nation’s poorest children and families.Although the Center thwarted efforts to roll back longstandingTitle IX policies that protect athletic opportunities for youngwomen, vigilant monitoring is necessary to ensure that the policiesare actually enforced and that court challenges to our victory donot succeed.

The Center is leading the way on all these fights and many othersand taking action to make progress for women and girls even inthe face of these daunting challenges. Our allies turn to us becausewe have the expertise and clout that are needed to win and evenadvance the law in tough times. Over the coming year, we aredetermined to harness a growing awareness and energy among

those who are becoming increasingly outraged by what is hap-pening — both overtly and under the radar screen — to dismantletheir basic rights.We will not only defend the gains we havemade for women and girls, but also find ways to bring furtheradvances in the year ahead.

The Center has shown that with determination, effort and savvy,we can win.We are proud of the work of our incredible staff andextraordinary Board and our collective efforts on behalf ofwomen and their families.

And we know how important the Center’s friends and supportershave been and will be to the fights and opportunities ahead toprotect and strengthen our most basic rights and freedoms.Thankyou for sustaining the Center’s work on behalf of women andgirls and your continued commitment in the future.

Gender gaps persist in education,particularly when it comes to train-ing women and girls for today’stechnology-oriented workplace,leveling the playing field in athleticsand eradicating sexual harassmentin the classroom.The Center fightsfor gender equity and a strong Title IX, the 1972 federal lawprohibiting sex discrimination ineducation, in order to improve thequality of education for all youngwomen and girls.

Equality on the Field…

The Center makes it a priority toensure women and girls receiveequal educational opportunities inthe classroom and on the playingfield.These opportunities wereplaced in grave danger this past yearwhen the Administration created aCommission to evaluate Title IXathletics policies and to issue rec-ommendations that could dismantlethe law.The Center spearheaded

a massive Save Title IX Coalition and helped defeat a lawsuit thaterroneously claimed Title IX poli-cies resulted in “reverse discrimina-tion.”The Center testified beforethe Commission, chaired theCoalition’s communications taskforce, helped organize hearings onTitle IX in the House and Senate,and mobilized citizens to contactthe President and Congress aboutthe need to preserve current TitleIX athletics policies.These intensiveefforts resulted in a huge victoryfor women and girls when theDepartment of Education decidednot to change the Title IX athleticspolicies.The Center also worked,case-by-case, to make sure schoolslike Washington-Lee High Schoolin Arlington,Virginia treat theirfemale students fairly.

And in the Classroom…

Despite the important advanceswomen and girls have made ineducation, young women in voca-tional and technical education arestill clustered in programs leading tolow-wage, service-sector jobs, whileyoung men are guided into com-

puter and technology programsleading to higher-paying jobs.Thesepatterns of sex segregation decreaseyoung women’s opportunities andthreaten to leave girls behind in thenew economy.

This year, the Center conductedextensive research into sex segrega-tion in high school vo-techprograms across the country, filedpetitions with the Department ofEducation, and launched a mediacampaign that brought this issue —which had been invisible to thegeneral public — attention in liter-ally hundreds of media outlets.TheCenter was also invited to testifybefore a Senate committee aboutways to improve opportunities for

were struck down and educated thepublic about the need to preserveaffirmative action.The Court’sdecision recognized the importanceof promoting diversity in ournation’s universities and gave newmomentum to its use as a proactivetool to achieve equal opportunity.

“I loved playing field hockey, but I also saw the school treated maleathletes better, as if they counted more. My teammates and I used fadedcotton t-shirts as game jerseys and had no locker room to change inbefore games. The field was so rough that a referee questioned thesafety of playing a league game on it. Meanwhile, football players andother male athletes had nice jerseys, a newly renovated field, and anicely equipped locker room with television and space for multipleteams. I researched Title IX and contacted the Center after finding itsweb site. After months of negotiation with school officials, the Centerhelped my school do the right thing by improving the conditions forfemale athletes. The process taught me that standing up and demandingwhat’s right not only brings results, but also is very rewarding.”

CHRISTINE BOEHMFormer student atWashington-Lee High School

Women still face discrimination inpay and promotions and a lack ofcritical supports that help themsucceed in the workplace.TheCenter addresses these barriers byexpanding access to high-quality,affordable child and dependentcare; pressing for strong enforce-ment of laws prohibiting sexualharassment and other job discrimi-nation; strengthening the right tofamily leave; and fighting for equalpay and benefits.

Increasing Access to

Affordable Child Care

Because access to high-quality,affordable child care is critical toenabling women to succeed atwork — including women leaving

welfare and struggling to stay offit — the Center worked this year toexpand the availability, affordabilityand quality of child care for womenand their families, especially low-income families.The Center helpedfamilies pay for child care whenthree states increased the tax assis-tance they provide to families, asrecommended in the Center’sreport, Making Care Less Taxing:Improving State Child and DependentCare Tax Provisions, which outlineshow policy makers and advocatescan improve tax assistance for childand dependent care.As Co-Chairof the Child Care Now coalition,the Center also played a key role inmaking the need for expandedchild care funding a central focus of the national welfare debate.Although Congress enacted only ashort-term reauthorization of thekey federal programs that fund

child care, with no programchanges and no new funding, thisyear’s efforts laid important groundfor advances in the year to come.

Protecting Fairness in

the Workplace

The Center protected opportunitiesfor women in the workplace whenit defended the Family and MedicalLeave Act (FMLA), the law requir-ing job-protected family leave forboth male and female employees,against a serious challenge.TheCenter filed a major amicus curiaebrief in the Supreme Court case,Hibbs v. Nevada Department ofHuman Resources, on behalf of 31civil rights and women’s organiza-tions arguing the importance of theFMLA in extinguishing harmfuland outmoded gender stereotypes.

In a 6-3 decision, the SupremeCourt upheld the right of stateemployees to sue for damages iftheir employers violate the provi-sion of the FMLA that allows timeoff from work to care for a sickfamily member.

The Center worked to help familieslearn about and take full advantageof tax breaks that help them meettheir child care and other expenses.Credit Where Credit Is Due helped tensof thousands of working parents getthe tax assistance they needed byoutlining the federal tax creditsavailable to them and by helpingthem determine their eligibility andthe amounts they could receive from the credits.

To encourage state policy makers tomove toward more effective childcare initiatives, the Center issued areport analyzing employer child caretax credit programs. The Little EngineThat Hasn’t: The Poor Performance ofEmployer Tax Credits for Child Care,revealed that in nearly all of the 20states examined only five or fewercorporations actually claimed the taxcredits, leaving the money allocatedfor the credits in state budgetsunspent, yet unavailable for otherchild care programs.

The Center also focused onimproving the opportunities forwomen to serve in the full range ofassignments offered by the nation’slargest employer, the U.S. military,and expanding the protectionsagainst sexual harassment and otherforms of sex discrimination.Whensexual assaults at the Air ForceAcademy surfaced this year, theCenter held the Academy’s feet tothe fire by pressing for systemicchanges, including in how femalecadets who report crimes are treat-ed, recommendations echoed bythe congressionally establishedFowler Commission.

Strengthening Sexual

Harassment Laws

The Center took advantage ofother opportunities this past year toshape and expand legal protections

against sexual harassment.TheCenter provided key analysis in asexual harassment case before theU.S. Court of Appeals for theSecond Circuit when the courtspecifically requested an amicuscuriae brief from the Center in Min Jin v. Metropolitan Life. Thecourt closely tracked the Center’sarguments when it found that acompany is automatically liable forsexual harassment when a supervi-sor requires a subordinate employee to submit to sexual demands inorder to keep a job.

More women than men are poorin this country and their poverty isfar more persistent.The Centeradvances laws and public policiesto protect economically vulnerablewomen, including single mothers,women of color, and older women.The Center promotes policies that ensure a fair and adequate tax system, help women achieveself-sufficiency, improve childsupport and increase women’sretirement security.

Promoting Fair and

Adequate Tax Policies

To advance a tax system that isequitable and raises sufficient rev-enue to meet national priorities,especially the programs women andfamilies rely upon, this year theCenter reconvened Fair Taxes forAll (FTFA), an unprecedented

mobilization of over 325 organiza-tions nationwide.As co-chair ofFTFA and its communications taskforce, the Center educated the pub-lic and policy makers about theproblems with the proposed 2003tax cuts: that they were highlyinequitable; would drain resourcesfrom Social Security, health care,education, child care, and otherprograms of special importance towomen and their families; and werenot an effective way to stimulatethe economy and create jobs.TheCenter’s leadership of FTFA had animportant impact on the outcome:the size of the tax cut was reducedby more than half and statesreceived $20 billion in fiscal reliefto help them stave off cuts in criti-cal programs. In addition, theCenter and FTFA broadened thedebate by educating the publicabout the importance of a tax sys-tem that is both equitable and ade-quate to support national priorities.

Helping Women Achieve

Self-Sufficiency

To protect and advance policies thathelp low-income women achieveself-sufficiency, the Center success-fully opposed the punitive reautho-rization plan advanced forTemporary Assistance for NeedyFamilies (TANF), the federal blockgrant that provides funding for statepublic assistance programs.The planwould have added new restrictionsto poor women’s access to

education and job training, forcedstates to operate workfare programsinstead of helping mothers find andkeep decent jobs, diverted hundredsof millions of dollars to marriagepromotion programs instead ofproven anti-poverty strategies, andprovided no additional funding forchild care despite huge unmet andgrowing needs.The Center foughtagainst these changes and alsohelped build bipartisan support forchild support reforms that give

To encourage lawmakers to adoptchild support policies that reflectthe circumstances of low-incomeparents, the Center and the Centeron Fathers, Families and Public

Policy released the second reportof their Common Ground project,Dollars and Sense: Improving theDetermination of Child SupportObligations for Low-IncomeMothers, Fathers and Children.Common Ground is an unprece-dented collaboration that bringstogether a diverse group of advo-cates, practitioners and researcherswho work with low-income custo-dial mothers and low-income non-custodial fathers. Dollars and Sensewas distributed to lawmakers atall levels of government, and led to some improved policies in thestates and at the federal level.

work histories.As a result of theCenter’s persistent engagement ofpolicy makers this year, a change inpension law that would haveundermined key protections forspousal rights and threatened manywomen’s pension benefits wasaverted, and several bipartisan billswere introduced to improve pen-sion rights for widows and divorcedspouses.These efforts are especiallyimportant because women livelonger than men, their lifetimeearnings are lower, their assets andpension income are less than men’s,and they — especially women livingalone and women of color — are atgreater risk of poverty as they age.

Too often, the health care needsand concerns of women are over-looked or shortchanged whenhealth insurance protections, pre-ventive health programs andresearch priorities are put in place.The problem is especially gravewhen it comes to women’s repro-ductive health.The Center is work-ing to advance women’s health, byevaluating the states’ performanceand pressing them to do better, bydeveloping new strategies to secureequitable health insurance coverage,and by fighting on many fronts tocombat the escalated assaults on awoman’s right to choose.

Improving the Overall

Health of Women

Through a first-of-its-kind report,Making the Grade on Women’s Health:A National and State-by-State ReportCard, the Center developed a com-prehensive assessment of the overallhealth of women at the state andnational levels with its partners atthe Oregon Health & ScienceUniversity and the University ofPennsylvania School of Medicine.The report analyzed women’saccess to health care services, thestatus of women’s health conditions,and graded and ranked each state

and the nation on its progress inmeeting government adopted goals.The Report Card results, whichhighlighted how far the country isfrom meeting these goals, werecovered widely in the media andhighlighted policies that statesshould adopt that would bringimportant improvements towomen’s health. State policy makersand advocates actively used theCenter’s research and the ReportCard to push for measures in theirown communities that improvewomen’s health.

As highlighted in the Report Card,one of the biggest problems womenface is their lack of access to com-prehensive health insurance.Thisyear, the Center released researchthat brought to light the seriousproblems faced by low-incomewomen in securing health insur-ance.Also this year, the Center,through its coalition efforts, educat-ed policy makers and mobilizedadvocates and succeeded in holdingoff an attempt to drastically reduceMedicaid funding for low-incomewomen that would have included,in addition to other cuts in vitalservices, a major reduction in sorelyneeded family planning services.

Protecting Women’s

Reproductive Health

This year, the Center fought toprotect women’s reproductiverights on multiple fronts, as itresisted efforts by the most activeanti-choice Administration andCongress of the post-Roe v.Wadeera.The Center was a leading voiceagainst attempts in Congress to passnew laws and regulations thatdefine legal “personhood” as begin-ning at the time of conception, torestrict contraceptive funding andaccess, to deny federal family plan-ning funds to many health careclinics overseas, and to ban certainmedically necessary abortion procedures.

The Center also battled an often-hidden threat to women’s repro-ductive health that occurs whensecular hospitals merge withreligious hospitals in communitiesaround the country. Under theradar of most Americans, thesehospitals often merge withoutinforming the community aboutrestrictions on crucial reproductiveservices such as tubal ligations,contraceptive care, and abortions.In the past year, the Center assisted

advocates in Maryland, Illinois,Texas, New York, New Jersey,Connecticut and Ohio to maintainreproductive health services in theface of these mergers.And in 2003,the Center launched a major effortwith the NAACP to empowerurban communities and communi-ties of color to halt these kinds ofhospital transactions that threatenaccess to reproductive and otherhealth services.

Finally, the Center focused this yearon helping women gain insurancecoverage for their contraceptiveneeds.As part of the legal team, andbuilding on the legal theory theCenter successfully pioneered, theCenter helped reach a final settle-

ment in Erickson v. Bartell Drug Co.,the first case in which a court ruledthat employers are violating thefederal law against sex discrimina-tion in the workplace if theyexclude coverage of prescriptioncontraceptives from an otherwisecomprehensive health plan. In addi-tion, the Center helped thousandsof other women across the coun-try — including employees of theCity of Eugene, Oregon andstudents at George WashingtonUniversity — obtain this coverage.The Center also continued its workto require other major companiesand institutions to comply with thelaw, including through a class actionlawsuit against the nation’s largestprivate-sector employer,Wal-Mart.

“George Washington University sent me a booklet listingwhat would be covered under the student health plan. Iwas angry when I saw that my birth control pills wouldn’tbe covered, because I had signed up for the plan expectingit to include my basic health needs. I remembered readinga pamphlet by the National Women’s Law Center oncontraceptive equity, so I contacted the Center. A fewweeks later the Center was able to file a complaint withmy school, and within a year, the University had agreed to change its policy to include contraceptive coverage.”

TERRA NEVITTGeorge Washington University Law Student

Reaching across all of its programareas, the Center works to protectthe core legal rights that womenhave won over the last 30 years andbrings its legal expertise and strate-gic experience to bear on one ofthe most important issues facingAmerica today — the future of thefederal judiciary.The federal courtshave enormous power to moveforward or roll back women’s corelegal rights: the right to be free fromsexual harassment and discrimina-tion in the workplace; the right toequal educational opportunities; andthe right to privacy, which protectsagainst government intrusion intopersonal matters, including contra-ception and abortion.

Protecting Fundamental

Rights and Freedoms

To ensure precious and criticalgains in women’s fundamentalrights are not eroded, this year the

Center educated policy makers andthe public about the judicial nomi-nations process, what is at stake forwomen, and the records of individ-ual nominees.The Center testifiedbefore the Senate about themeaning of its constitutional role toprovide “advice and consent” onjudicial nominations and theimportance of vigorous Senatescrutiny of the records of judicialnominees and, in particular, theirviews on core legal issues forwomen.The Center also researchedand publicized the records of asmall number of the most extremenominees, and a majority of theJudiciary Committee refused toconfirm several of these nomineesin this congressional session.

These nomination fights arecritically important to protectingwomen’s core legal rights, for whilethe Supreme Court has the final sayin interpreting the Constitutionand federal statutes, it takes veryfew cases each year.The lower fed-eral courts are the final decision-makers in most cases, wielding

enormous power over the lives ofwomen and of all Americans. Inaddition, this year’s debate over therole of judicial philosophy foreshad-ows a high-stakes, high-profiledebate over one or more SupremeCourt openings in the future.

To highlight the enormous stakesfor women in judicial nominations,the Center published The SupremeCourt and Women’s Rights:Fundamental Protections Hanging inthe Balance. The report outlined

recent decisions and trends in theSupreme Court’s jurisprudence,showing how the Court’s treat-ment of fundamental constitution-al and statutory protections forwomen could be affected by justone or two changes in the Court’scomposition. The report focusedon cases involving constitutionalissues such as the right to privacyand equal protection, statutoryprotections against discriminationin employment and education,and federalism doctrines limitingCongress’ authority to enact legis-lation to punish discrimination andprotect the public welfare in otherimportant ways.
