Southern Nevada N.O.W's Continuing Work
Southern Nevada NOW is taking action on the following issues and problems in our community:

Nevada politicians who do not support women's rights or girls' rights A lack of women in elected office and executive management roles Pay inequality by some of Southern Nevada's largest employers A lack of adequate sex education in schools A rise in domestic violence instances (giving Southern Nevada the second worse rate of domestic violence instances per capita in the country) A lack of health resources for women Pharmacists who refuse to fill birth control prescriptions written by doctors A lack of equal marriage rights for lesbian families A continued rise in poverty and homelessness among women and children Unequal and often sexist coverage in media
