Protecting and expanding access and opportunities or women and girls:

this is the work o Equal Rights Advocates. Whether ensuring a woman is paid the same

wages as a man, deending the right o a woman athlete to play a male-dominated

sport, or ghting on behal o millions o retail workers nationwide, Equal Rights

Advocates sta responds on a daily basis to womens most acute legal needs.

This year, we celebrated our 37th Anniversary with milestones such as representing our

clients at the Supreme Court o the United States, awarding the rst round o grants

to emale athletes rom the University o Caliornia, Davis as part o the Women in

Sports Equity (WISE) Fund, responding to more than 500 requests or assistance rom

our Advice and Counseling (A&C) hotline, and being named among the rst cohorts

o the Pioneers in Justice initiative by the Levi Strauss Foundation. These remarkable

events shape the vision or our work.

Equal Rights Advocates works to meet the legal needs o women and girls discriminated against

simply due to their sex in an eort to achieve equality. Inequality diminishes both women and

men. We believe it is time to recognize that discrimination against women has consequences o amagnitude similar to human rights violations. The meaningul availability o legal counselwhether

in the orm o advice or representationto assist women experiencing unequal treatment is the

dierence in achieving equal justice under law.

We hope you will join us in our eort to make equal rights a reality.

Equality for Women at SchoolIn October 2010, Equal Rights Advocates hosted a reception to honor the University o Caliornia, Davis

(UC Davis) sports teams awarded grants rom the Women in Sports Equity (WISE) Fund. The WISE Fund is

administered by the Womens Foundation o Caliornia. The Fund originated rom the successul settlement o

Brust v. Regents o the University o Caliornia, a case brought by Equal Rights Advocates, Equity Legal, and

the Sturdevant Law Firm.

The Women in Sports Equity (WISE) Fund is dedicated to supporting and developing women athletes at

UC Davis. The purpose o the Fund is to support the development o emale athletes at the club sport level

by providing grants to selected emale club teams and co-ed club teams or team-related expenses, such as

coaching, training, equipment, uniorms or travel.

Case Update: Mansourian v. Regents of the University of California

Managing Attorney Noreen Farrell and her team represented

plaintis over the past year in the continued litigation o

this signicant lawsuit. With co-counsel Equity Legal, The

Sturdevant Law Firm, and Duckworth Peters Lebowitz Olivier

LLP, Equal Rights Advocates represented plaintis who were

emale ormer wrestlers at UC Davis. Our clients allege unlawuldiscrimination or the elimination o the womens wrestling

program at a time when UC Davis did not otherwise provide

women with an equal opportunity to play sports. By eliminating

the program, UC Davis did not comply with Title IX, the Federal

law prohibiting sex discrimination at educational institutions

that receive Federal unding.

To remain on the team, the women were told, they would have to win a place on ita move our attorneys

described as unprecedented and unair. The women would have to ace Division I male wrestlers with superior

strength and skill. Athletic endeavors empower young women and girls and provide opportunities that enabletheir continued success, both in school and in the workorce.

Equal Right Advocates extends a special thanks to co-counsel and the American Association o University

Women (AAUW) Legal Advocacy Fund or their nancial support o our litigation eorts.

The case proceeded to trial in U.S. District Court beginning May 2011.
