Legal Progress seeks to make the judicial branch of government better reflect the values of liberty, equality, and opportunity enshrined in the U.S. Constitution.

The
Women’s Initiative is a comprehensive effort to marshal CAP’s broad expertise and promote public policies that enable women to participate fully in our economy and our society. Women have made enormous progress over the past 50 years, but our workplaces and national policies have not adapted to our changing society. We believe that women—and the challenges they face—must be at the center of our national policy debate in order to develop responsive solutions that improve the lives of women and their families.
