Center for American Progress

Today is the 38th anniversary of Title IX, a landmark victory for Women’s Rights signed into legislation on June 23, 1972.  Even after the Civil Rights Act prohibited discrimination, Title IX was needed to specifically prohibit discrimination based on sex in education programs and activities that receive federal financial assistance.  This is commonly thought to only benefit women’s athletics, but includes discrimination based on sex, pregnancy, or sexual harassment
