National Advocates For Pregnant Women

National Advocates for Pregnant Women (NAPW) is dedicated to protecting the rights and human dignity of all women, particularly pregnant and parenting women, as well as those most vulnerable, including low income women, women of color, and drug-using women. NAPW uses legal advocacy, public education, and organizing to advance reproductive and human rights for all women and families. The organization is actively involved in ongoing court challenges to punitive reproductive health and drug policies, and provides support in cases across the country. NAPW aims to broaden and strengthen the women's rights and progressive movements in America by focusing on the rights of pregnant women and the full range of attacks on their rights, including efforts to establish fetal rights under the law and attacks made through the war on drugs. NAPW's ultimate goal is to achieve a country in which no one is arrested, shamed, or denied constitutional or human rights because of their capacity for pregnancy, pregnancy, or any outcome of their pregnancies.
