NIU Women's Rights Alliance

I am here for Serious Relationships, Friends and Networking

About Me

Our Mission:
1)Promote the success and wellbeing of women and girls.
2)Improve gender relations by providing opportunities for women and men to engage in cooperative work and open dialogue.
3)Provide the NIU and DeKalb communities appropriate forums for raising awareness of and working against sexual assault, domestic abuse, and gender discrimination.
4)Educate women and men about reproductive biology and health.
5)Provide women and men opportunities for confidence and leadership skill development.
Our Vision:
We are dedicated to the fulfillment of our mission through quality programs that serve the NIU and DeKalb communities. Our focus is on the status and wellbeing of women and girls, and we are equally focused on improving relations between the sexes. In this way, we contribute to the ongoing effort of society to build a more equitable and civil world for all people. It is our vision that Northern Illinois University, with the aid of our organization, continue to develop as an outstanding leader in the preservation and improvement of women’s rights and safety.
