🟡What is NOWSA?
NOWSA is a grassroots movement established in 1987 with the goal of fostering a grassroots network that autonomously represents women and all peoples with lived experience of misogyny. Annually since 1987, a conference is hosted to provide students the opportunity to engage with political, economic, social, and cultural issues that affect women and allows students to share resources, skills, and knowledge.
