I chose the Center for Reproductive Rights, which is an organization that uses the law to advance reproductive freedom. This organization is one that I fully believe deserves support. Every woman fully deserves to take care of her body and make their own choices. Right now, they are fighting for Plan B in the military, because it is proven that military bases are not required to carry it. So women do not even have the choice to take it. To think that a woman were to have sex on a military base, and not be able to have a normal backup plan isn't right or fair. So organizations that will recognize then fight for these issues completely have my support, and should be more supported by anyone. These are some of their accomplishments :
Defeating extreme abortion bans in Michigan and Virginia
Protecting teens' access to confidential reproductive health care in Kansas and Alaska
Winning a landmark ruling from the U.N. Human Rights Committee that establishes access to abortion, where legal, as a human right
Negotiating a groundbreaking settlement with Mexico on behalf of a young rape victim who was denied a lawful abortion, the first time a Latin American government acknowledged that access to legal abortion is a human right
Taking the U.S. Food and Drug Administration to court over the agency's refusal to make emergency contraception available over the counter to women of all ages
Reframing preventable maternal deaths as a human rights violation
Calling out the U.S. for racial inequities in reproductive healthcare before the UN
Exposing widespread physical and verbal abuse of women in Kenyan maternity wards
Promoting legal scholarship and teaching on reproductive health and human rights
Bringing to light dangerous new anti-choice strategies to overturn Roe v. Wade
Working with federal and state lawmakers in the U.S. to promote progressive policies and defeat proposals that would undermine women's reproductive health
Collaborating with more than 100 organizations in over 50 countries to strengthen reproductive health laws and policies

Those are some pretty real issue that have been fixed or brought to the worlds attention all because of the Center for Reproductive Rights.This is majorly a gender issue because it has everything to do with the rights og being a woman, and being safe with their sexuality. To represent these women bby fighting for rights that most people dont consider to be important is very inspiring, and respectable.
