The Center’s Mission and Plan
The Center for Reproductive Rights builds, defends and enforces legal guarantees so that people worldwide can freely exercise their rights to make decisions about their sexual and reproductive health and lives and access a full range of quality sexual and reproductive health services and information.
In 2021, the Center set a bold target: By 2030, half the world’s population will be living under stronger legal protections for reproductive rights.
Women and girls must be able to exercise their sexual and reproductive health – not only because it is their human right…but also because it is a public health imperative
Martin Onyango, Associate Director for Africa Legal Strategies
We use the power of law to advance reproductive freedom around the world. From state courts to the U.S. Supreme Court to international human rights bodies, our legal work has helped shape policy, expand access, and hold governments accountable.
