National Partnership for Women & Families

Supreme Court Cases

Every year, the Supreme Court decides cases that touch women’s lives.

In recent years, the Court has considered cases involving discrimination, sexual harassment, a woman’s right to make her own reproductive health decisions, equal and full application of the Family & Medical Leave Act, and other critical issues.

To make sure that women's rights are vindicated, we file Amicus briefs on key cases and speak out on your behalf.
