society, we improve women's social, economic and legal status. We bring
ground-breaking lawsuits to change the law, advocate for legislation
that advances women's rights, and educate women and the community about
women's legal rights. And we do so on virtually any issue that affects
women, because the challenges women face are multi-dimensional.
