Title IX of the Education Amendments was passed by Congress and ratified by President Nixon in 1972.

It bans any form of gender discrimination in educational programs or activities, specially when participants are entitled to financial aid. Such provisions have helped women to access to higher quality programs and areas that were previously reserved to men, as for example, sports. Athletics opportunities for women grew spectacularly. Moreover, they have helped in the fight against every form of sexual harassment or violence.
