Moreover, we urge the 116th Congress to chart a path forward that opens doors, breaks down barriers, and rejects policies that undermine opportunities for women and girls to succeed.Read more about the legislation Congress can support NOW to build the foundation of a more fair, just and equal nation with opportunity for all.
