NOW and Violence Against Women - 0 views
-
"NOW is unique in its approach to the issue of violence against women, emphasizing that there are many interrelated aspects to the issue -- domestic violence; sexual assault; sexual harassment; violence at abortion clinics; hate crimes across lines of gender, sexuality and race; the gender bias in our judicial system that further victimizes survivors of violence; and the violence of poverty emphasized by the radical right's attacks on poor women and children -- all of which result from society's attitudes toward women and efforts to "keep women in their place.""

"The National Organization for Women is the largest organization of feminist activists in the United States. NOW has more than 500,000 contributing members and more than 500 local and campus affiliates in all 50 states and the District of Columbia. Since our founding in 1966, NOW's goal has been "to take action" to bring about equality for all women. Both the actions NOW takes and its position on the issues are principled, uncompromising and often ahead of their time. NOW is a leader, not a follower, of public opinion."

"Sexual violence (or sexual activity without freely given consent) is a major public health problem in the U.S. According to the CDC's National Center for Injury Prevention and Control, nearly 1 in 5 women and 1 in 71 men in the U.S. have been raped at some point in their lives, and experts believe even those numbers underestimate the problem since many such crimes go unreported. Sexual violence can lead to numerous long-term health consequences, including chronic pain, headaches, stomach problems, sexually transmitted diseases, and psychological trauma."
