In February 2003, a commission appointed by the Department of Education recommended changes to the law that could have resulted in limited opportunities for girls to participate in sports.
America spoke up against these changes jeopardizing athletic opportunities for young girls across the US, and with the help of the "Save Title IX" campaign, succeeded in being heard: On July 11, the department's Office for Civil Rights issued a letter to US schools to clarify and enforce the policies of Title IX.
Title IX is a federal law that prohibits sex discrimination by ensuring that schools and colleges receiving federal funds provide equal opportunities for women.
