On the campaign trail in 2024, President Donald Trump claimed that 鈥渨hether the women like it or not, I鈥檓 going to protect them.鈥� Now, that claim is proving to be more a threat than a promise. His administration is undermining women鈥檚 economic freedom and security, strictly enforcing archaic gender roles, gutting reproductive freedom and women鈥檚 health, and pushing women back into the home.

Trump鈥檚 notion of 鈥減rotection鈥� rests on the that 鈥渕en were the doers in the world and women were the stay-at-home types.鈥� This limiting understanding of gender assumed that men and women must occupy 鈥渟eparate spheres鈥� based on supposed biological differences. In decades past, this 鈥渟eparate spheres鈥� theory kept women firmly on a patriarchal pedestal: out of public life and in the domestic sphere. It also confined men to economic roles and excluded them from many aspects of family life. Through policy and rhetoric, the Trump administration is steadily executing the proposals at the core of Project 2025 to limit opportunity based on gender. Now, the Heritage Foundation, the think tank behind Project 2025, has released a to advance an agenda that pressures women into marrying men and raising children to the exclusion of all else. This Women鈥檚 History Month, we must recognize this project for what it is: a full-scale onslaught on women鈥檚 rights.

The 桃子视频has been committed to opening doors that had been closed to women Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg co-founded the Women鈥檚 Rights Project in 1972.鈥疌ase by case, she dismantled the concept of separate spheres, ensuring that women could be breadwinners too and that men could be caregivers. In the first case that Ginsburg argued, Frontiero v. Richardson, the Supreme Court struck down a federal law that required the husbands of servicemembers who were women to prove they were dependent, while the wives of servicemembers who were men were automatically considered dependent. The Court concluded that laws that differentiate by sex are inherently suspect and suggested that the state has no legitimate interest in encouraging men and women to assume gendered roles within marriage.

Similarly, in Weinberger v. Wiesenfeld, Justice Ginsburg argued that widowers must be allowed to collect their deceased wives鈥� Social Security benefits just as widows were able to do after their husbands passed. She explained to the Supreme Court that laws recognizing only a 鈥渙ne-earner family composed of breadwinning husband and child tending wife鈥� were untenable since an increasing number of women were participating in the paid labor force. Justice Ginsburg said that, as a result, 鈥渢his stereotyped vision of man鈥檚 work and woman鈥檚 place lacks correspondence with reality for millions of American families.鈥� The Supreme Court agreed, concluding that the view that only 鈥渕ale workers鈥� earnings are vital to the support of their families鈥� could not be 鈥渢olerated under the Constitution.鈥�

Today, of women, ages 25-54, in America work outside the home, whether by choice or necessity, but Trump and his allies are trying to reverse that progress. In his first year in office, Trump has already implemented a significant portion of , the administration鈥檚 playbook for enacting its most extreme policies which undermine women鈥檚 economic security, weaken their civil rights protections, and eliminate diversity, equity and inclusion programs.

And that is only the beginning. The Heritage Foundation鈥檚 latest plan mandates heterosexual marriage and parenthood and even proposes camps to prepare couples for marriage. It reserves in vitro fertilization for heterosexual couples and limits its use for unmarried couples or individuals. Its vision also criticizes finding fulfillment through career and public life, suggesting that prioritizing family life is in tension with obtaining professional credentials and higher education. The goal of this agenda is to drag us back to a time when women were financially dependent on men, and queer people had no rights.

Already, the Trump administration is enacting policies that limit women鈥檚 ability to work. It has the Women鈥檚 Bureau of the Department of Labor and other federal programs that help women get high-paying jobs in male-dominated industries. Meanwhile, protections against sex discrimination in the federal contractor workforce were following an which ended anti-discrimination policies in the federal government.鈥疶he Department of Defense also a committee that expanded women鈥檚 role in the military and is now of women in ground combat positions 鈥� a question the Women鈥檚 Rights Project thought it had put to bed after we sued over the original combat ban in 2012.

The infrastructure that supports working women is also under attack. After Trump鈥痑ttempted to dismantle Head Start, a childcare and early education program for children from low-income families, the Women鈥檚 Rights Project sued, blocking the action. Citing unverified fraud claims, the administration has restricted federal funds for childcare, shifting caregiving responsibilities to women and inhibiting鈥痶heir labor market participation. The Women鈥檚 Rights Project recently filed a public records request to force the administration to disclose the extent and reasons behind these restrictions. And for professionals who already provide care for seniors and people with disabilities, most of whom are women of color, a proposed regulation would strip them of minimum wage and overtime protections. Now millions risk greater economic insecurity and a鈥痺idening gender wage gap.

The administration has also targeted women鈥檚 reproductive freedom. President Trump approved 鈥渄efunding鈥� Planned Parenthood, further weakening access to preventive and reproductive health care for millions of women. The administration is also laying the groundwork for severe restrictions on a medication commonly used for abortion and miscarriage care, mifepristone. These restrictions, if adopted, could stop women from accessing this medication via telemedicine 鈥� a crucial lifeline for women who might otherwise struggle to get care in-person, including survivors of domestic violence. The Trump administration also policies that protected abortion access, such as abortion and out-of-state abortion care covered under .

Last month, the House of Representatives passed the SAVE America Act, which would bar eligible voters from registering if they have documents that no longer match their name. If enacted, the law could disproportionately affect married women who have changed their last names and transgender people whose documents may not reflect their gender identity.

Under the guise of 鈥渄efending women鈥� and 鈥渞estoring biological truth,鈥� Trump also signed an on day one of his second term restricting the rights of transgender and nonbinary people. Since then, policies that seek to erase them from public life followed, from transgender people from serving openly in the military to access to gender-affirming care. By reinforcing the idea that men and women must conform to strict gender-based stereotypes, the administration鈥檚 attacks on transgender people and efforts to police gender norms harm everyone.

The Trump administration鈥檚 assault on women鈥檚 rights is relentless, but so are we. The Women鈥檚 Rights Project will continue to resist these dangerous efforts and defend the essential infrastructure that enables women to go to work, attend school, and support their families so that all of us can thrive inside the home and out.
