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.

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.
