A big thank you to everyone who donated items during our #16Days campaign. Look at all the wonderful toiletries and personal care necessities that were collected for the women and children at the CPLC De Colores shelter. When Dianne and I went to the shelter, one of the residents that we got to talk to said “These are things we really need.”

Help us to keep fighting to end gender-based violence with your donation or membership today.

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.”
