Girls’ and women’s sexual and reproductive health and rights are at risk. Tell your senators to vote for the Women’s Health Protection Act today! This critical legislation would protect the right to abortion throughout the U.S., guarding against dangerous bans and medically unnecessary restrictions.

Everyone has a role to play in the fight for gender equality, and there are many ways to take action. You can choose to contact your elected officials to support gender equality legislation, sign a petition demanding girls’ safety online or share your story to decrease period stigma.
Advocacy can take so many different forms — but everything you do gets us closer to creating a more just and equal world. Here are a few of the ways that you can make a difference right now.
