Title IX was created to guarantee girls and young women equal opportunities in education, single-sex spaces in schools, and a level playing field in sports.  

But right now, activists are tearing that promise apart. 

18 states—including California and Maine—are forcing young female athletes and students to compete against biological males in sports and share private spaces like bathrooms and locker rooms.  

This is a betrayal of their safety, their dignity, and their rights. 

 
Defending Ed’s new report, Title IX State Tracker: Compliant or Not?, exposes which states are upholding the law and which are failing our students.  

Will you help us hold these state education departments, school boards, and athletic associations accountable with your gift of $35, $50, $100 or more today?  

Your support will help: 

  • Expose illegal Title IX violations  
  • Pressure lawmakers to enforce the law  
  • Empower parents and students with the truth  
  • Defend fairness and safety in every school 

Every day, young female athletes and students are losing opportunities, privacy, and safety because of these violations.  

But your generosity powers our mission to protect Title IX and ensure every student has the equal opportunity to thrive.
