The National Women’s Law Center fights for gender justice—in the courts, in public policy, and in our society.
Fighting for Gender Justice Across Every Front
The National Women’s Law Center fights for gender justice—in the courts, in public policy, and in our society—working across the issues that are central to the lives of women and girls. We use the law in all its forms to change culture and drive solutions to the gender inequity that shapes our society and to break down the barriers that harm all of us—especially women of color, LGBTQ people, and low-income women and families.
For 50 years, we have been on the leading edge of every major legal and policy victory for women.
Our History
Since its inception, NWLC has given a voice to women’s rage—turning hurried whispers into desperate shouts, and finally, into a rallying cry for justice and change.
How We Work
The National Women’s Law Center uses all of the tools at our disposal to push gender justice forward. From fighting in Congress and state governments, to working in the courts, to telling the stories of those we serve through compelling data analysis and research.
Our Impact
The Center has been a leader in the landmark legal and public policy advances that have dramatically improved the lives of women and their families for 50 years.
