The Clara Bell Duvall Reproductive Freedom Project, which is a part of the ACLU of Pennsylvania, has been working to ensure access to reproductive rights since 1979. Most recently we have been working on issues related to improving services for incarcerated women including groundwork for a pilot project to deliver contraceptive services to women during their incarceration. We have developed a unique set of materials for health care provides to increase their willingness to allow minors to consent to services, aptly called "Do you have to tell my mom? Minors, Health Care & The Law." We are also working on increasing access to emergency contraception for survivors of rape and sexual assault.
The Duvall Project has a long history of working with students.

We strive to provide students with the opportunity to do meaningful work, and we encourage them to voice their own opinions and ideas about the work we are undertaking.
