About the Center for Reproductive Rights

The Center for Reproductive Rights uses the law to advance reproductive freedom as a fundamental right that all governments are obligated to protect, respect and fulfill. Founded in 1992 (as the Center for Reproductive Law and Policy), the Center has the largest and most diverse reproductive rights docket in the U.S., and has won significant victories in state and federal courts, including two landmark cases in the Supreme Court: Stenberg v. Carhart (2000) and Ferguson v. City of Charleston (2001). Using international human rights law to advance reproductive freedom, the Center has worked with U.N. agencies, regional bodies, and more than 100 women’s organizations in 45 countries.
