The NOW Foundation

The National Organization for Women (NOW) is an organization that was founded in 1966. The Foundation focuses on a broad range of women's rights issues, including economic justice, pay equality, racial discrimination, women's health and body image, women with disabilities, reproductive rights and justice, family law, marriage and family formation rights of same-sex couples, representation of women in the media, and global feminist issues. In the article "Organizers Focus Awareness on Women in Music Videos" written by Rose Afriyie, focuses on a discussion at Alabama State University about the portrayal of women in music videos and the instances of daily street harassment. They used the film "Dreamworlds 3" by Sut Jhally as a educational tool to show a perspective on several filming techniques. They believe that certain camera angles can dehumanize a woman and create an environment where abuse against women is not taken seriously. The NOW Foundation wants to create a voice for the women of these videos that have been silenced and sexualized. The NOW Foundation seeks for media justice.
