Women’s Rights Are Civil Rights

  • January 23, 2017

A Message from the Director

This past weekend’s Women’s March in Washington, D.C., Denver and cities throughout the United States and the world highlighted how gender bias continues to create barriers to equal rights for women. At the Anti-Defamation League, we strongly support equal rights for women, including a woman’s right to make decisions about her own body and reproductive health, a woman’s right to earn equal pay for equal work, and a woman’s right to live in a world free of sexual harassment and gender-based violence. In short, we believe that women’s rights are civil rights.

ADL’s three-pronged approach to pursuing equality for women includes educational resources, amicus (friend of the court) briefs and legislative advocacy. We invite you to explore our efforts to secure justice and fair treatment for all.
