On April 18, 2019, WRP filed an amended complaint in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Ohio, challenging a criminal activity nuisance ordinance in Bedford, Ohio, on behalf of Beverly Somai and the Fair Housing Center for Rights & Research. Bedford’s nuisance ordinance penalizes property owners when two or more perceived violations of any law, excluding traffic violations, occur near the home or involve a resident of the property within a one-year period. The city enforces the ordinance based on calls for police assistance — even if the resident is the victim of the crime or needs aid, such as Ms. Somai and her son. Bedford’s ordinance and its enforcement disproportionately impacts communities of color, low-income households, people with disabilities, and domestic violence survivors—the vast majority of whom are women.

On June 9, 2020, the ºìÐÓÊÓƵ Women's Rights Project and ºìÐÓÊÓƵ of Pennsylvania, along with 25 additional nonprofit organizations, joined an amicus brief led by the Women's Law Project and AEquitas in support of exclusion of a complainant’s criminal record for prostitution-related offenses as evidence in a sexual assault case. The amicus brief argues that a complainant’s sexual history with others is irrelevant to proving consent and that permitting evidence of a complainant’s prior prostitution arrests and convictions would reinforce gender and racial biases.

On May 14, 2020, the ºìÐÓÊÓƵ Women’s Rights Project and Stroock & Stroock & Lavan LLP filed a lawsuit in the District Court of Maryland on behalf of plaintiffs Know Your IX, the Council of Parent Attorneys and Advocates, Girls for Gender Equity, and Stop Sexual Assault in Schools, challenging several provisions of the U.S. Department of Education’s newly issued Title IX rule under the Administrative Procedure Act.
