BACKGROUND:<\/strong><\/span> Passed as a clause in the Education Amendments of 1972, Title IX is a civil rights law prohibiting discrimination based on sex in any educational program or activity receiving federal financial assistance. In the 50 years since its passage, Title IX has been applied widely at elementary, secondary, and post-secondary institutions. The law covers a broad range of programs and resources. Most visibly, Title IX has created pathways for \"\"<\/a>enriching women\u2019s athletics programs, allowing for more competitive sports offerings, stronger physical education regimens and equal spaces to play. Additionally, Title IX prohibits sexual harassment, including sexual assault, dating violence, domestic violence and stalking on school campuses or during school programs or activities. Fifty years later, Title IX is still evolving. The law has affected generations of young people in the United States, and the work to provide protections for even more in the future continues.<\/p>\n

\nOn March 3, 2022, in Washington, DC, the United States Postal Service\u00ae will issue the Title IX stamps (Forever\u00ae priced at the First-Class Mail\u00ae rate) in four designs, in a \"\"<\/a>pressure-sensitive adhesive (PSA) pane of 20 stamps (Item 481700).

With this stamp issuance, the Postal Service\u2122 commemorates the 50th anniversary of the passage of Title IX, a civil rights law prohibiting discrimination on the basis of sex from any educational program or activity receiving federal financial assistance. The stamp art features four unique designs, each a dark blue silhouette of a different woman\u2019s face in profile. The digital illustrations of the four women represent female athletes, specifically a runner, a swimmer, a gymnast, and a soccer player. Yellow laurel branches, symbolic of victory, rest in their hair and on the swimmer\u2019s cap. \u201cTitle IX\u201d appears written across the women\u2018s cheeks, intended as an empowering message about the inclusion of women and girls in all educational settings. The pane of 20 stamps includes a header. The stamps were designed and created by Melinda Beck. Derry Noyes served as art director.<\/p>\n
