NOW UCF works to provide a strong feminist presence and to impact our campus, our community and our country. Political, economic, and social forces still combine to deprive women of safety from violence, fair and equal treatment in the workplace, access to reproductive healthcare and comprehensive sex education, and much more both in this country and abroad – so it's crucial that young feminists take initiative to raise awareness about the persisting need for women's rights activism, as well as lead the way in taking feminist action.
