Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972

Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972 is a federal law prohibiting discrimination based on sex in any educational program or activity receiving federal funding. It ensures equal access to education and aims to eliminate gender-based barriers in schools, including in areas like athletics, admissions, and employment. Title IX has been crucial in promoting gender equality in education, empowering students to report sexual harassment, and encouraging schools to create a safe and inclusive environment for all students, regardless of their gender.
