WDI USA Files Its First Amicus Brief in the U.S. Supreme Court in Little, et al. v. Hecox, et al. | WDI USA

On August 14, 2024, the U.S. chapter of Women’s Declaration International filed its first-ever amicus brief before the U.S. Supreme Court. The case is Little, et al. v. Hecox, et al. In this case, the state of Idaho enacted a law protecting female-only sports and a man named Lindsay Hecox (represented by the ACLU) filed a legal challenge, claiming that the law violates his rights under Title IX and the Equal Protection Clause of the 14th Amendment (Bradley Little is the Governor of Idaho who signed the law). The U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit ultimately ruled in favor of Hecox and the state asked the Supreme Court to review the matter. Our brief urges the Court to take the case and explains that the Ninth Circuit’s ruling is in direct conflict with Articles VII and VIII of the Declaration on Women’s Sex-Based Rights. Former WDI USA president Kara Dansky is counsel on the brief.
