NOW-NYC Issues


NOW-NYC works to protect women's reproductive choices, end violence against women and eliminate sex discrimination in our schools, workplaces, and the justice system in New York. We are a voice for women and feminists on the many critical issues that impact women. Some of the areas we focus on include:


Human Trafficking
..........................................

NOW-NYC is working to End the Business of Human Trafficking in New York City. A modern-day form of slavery, human trafficking is the business of exploiting vulnerable women, men, and children for use as commodities in conditions of sexual and labor servitude. Learn More


Women in the Media
..........................................

NOW-NYC is working to improve the images of women in pop culture, media, and advertising. We are on watch to combat and end the barrage of sexist messages and images disseminated by the media. Learn More

Reproductive Rights
..........................................

Women's rights over their own bodies and healthcare are under immediate threat. NOW-NYC stands in staunch opposition to the recent Supreme Court decision to uphold the Federal Abortion Ban. We need to work harder than ever to gain back women's full access to abortion.

Women at Work
..........................................

NOW-NYC is standing up for women in the workplace. Start demanding equal pay for equal work from your employers and legislators, take a stand against employment discrimination (and get help if you are facing discrimination), and advance your career: learn the art of negotiation and understand the importance of managing your money. Learn More

Queer Advocacy Project

..........................................

The NOW-NYC Queer Advocacy Project pursues justice for all people in New York City by advancing changes in critical everyday aspects of life. We work as a community based group to engage those within and outside of our membership to create acceptance in legislation on all levels, in the workplace, in resources throughout our organization and across New York City. Learn More


Crisis in the Courts
..........................................

NOW-NYC was one of the few voices of staunch opposition to the confirmation of Justices Roberts and Alito. It didn't take long for the country to see that to see that we were right: in one short term, the newly constituted Supreme Court has snubbed precedent and handed down decisions that infringe on women's lives and personal choices in the workplace, in the doctor's office and in schools. How do these important decisions affect you? Learn More
