The Center for Reproductive Rights is a global human rights organization that uses constitutional and international law to secure women's right to an abortion in over 45 countries.[1]
Headquartered in New York City, the Center has recently expanded its international program, including the launch of an international litigation campaign that has included the first abortion case decided by the United Nations Human Rights Committee and the first case to frame preventable maternal deaths as a human rights violation.
Under the direction of its president, Nancy Northup, the Center has expanded human rights to its work in the United States. It is now documenting U.S. rights violations through fact-finding reports and holding the U.S. accountable before U.N. bodies that monitor compliance with international treaty obligations.
The Center continually monitors the treatment of reproductive rights in various media[2] in the US and abroad.
