Staff Attorney, Senior Staff Attorney, or Senior Counsel, Women's Rights Project Location: New York, NY Since its founding by Ruth Bader Ginsburg in 1972, the ACLU’s Women’s Rights Project has been a trailblazer in fighting for gender equity under law. We engage in systemic legal reform to ensure that everyone has the freedom to live, work, and learn free from stereotypes, harassment, and violence based on sex. Doing gender justice work as part of the broad civil liberties and civil rights agenda of the ACLU reflects the reality that women are part of other social change movements and that we must work together if we are to achieve a just society for all. Recent WRP work includes fighting the mass eviction crisis and other unfair housing practices that disproportionately lock out women, particularly Black women, from housing opportunities; challenging employment rules that penalize workers for their pregnancies or push them out of the paid workforce altogether; reforming the family regulation (or child welfare) system; and fighting dress codes that perpetuate stereotypes and punish students and workers based on race and sex.
