ANNUAL REPORT 2006

For 15 years, our attorneys have strategically and boldly used human rights tools, from the U.S. Constitution to the rulings of human rights bodies worldwide, to advance and protect every woman and girl�s right to freely make and act on her own reproductive choices.

In 2006, as in each year since 1992, we brought and won important cases, advanced advocacy and shared best practices, often collaborating with key partners to advance our goals.

ANNUAL REPORT 2004

Since 1992, the Center for Reproductive Rights has shaped the course of reproductive rights law in the United States and around the world. We use high-impact litigation to ensure that all women have the right to make their own reproductive health choices, to have children, end a pregnancy, and use contraception. We work in partnership with advocates and organizations around the globe to pressure governments to live up to their obligations to women under international treaties.

Our mission encompasses all women�s rights�including adolescents��to abortion, safe pregnancy, accurate health information, contraception, and prevention of practices harmful to women's health. We are not afraid to file groundbreaking legal cases in the United States and abroad that take on some of the toughest issues. We handle the largest caseload of any reproductive rights organization. We work to ensure that women�s human and reproductive rights are recognized, respected, and protected by the law.
