The Independent Women's Forum provides a voice for American women who believe in individual freedom and personal responsibility. We have made that voice heard in the U.S. Supreme Court, among decision makers in Washington, and across America's airwaves. It is the voice of reasonable women with important ideas who embrace common sense over divisive ideology. We don't pretend to speak for all women - but perhaps we speak for you.

Fairness & Accuracy in Reporting FAIR, the national media watch group, has been offering well-documented criticism of media bias and censorship since 1986. We work to invigorate the First Amendment by advocating for greater diversity in the press and by scrutinizing media practices that marginalize public interest, minority and dissenting viewpoints. As an anti-censorship organization, we expose important news stories that are neglected and defend working journalists when they are muzzled.
Documents from the Women's Liberation Movement The materials in this on-line archival collection document various aspects of the Women's Liberation Movement in the United States, and focus specifically on the radical origins of this movement during the late 1960s and early 1970s. Items range from radical theoretical writings to humorous plays to the minutes of an actual grassroots group.

"To honor in perpetuity these women, citizens of the United States of America whose contributions to the arts, athletics, business, education, government, the humanities, philanthropy and science, have been the greatest value for the development of their country."©

UNT Feminist Majority Leadership Alliance The UNT Feminist Majority Leadership Alliance is one of many nationally affiliated feminist campus groups of the Feminist Majority Foundation's campus program. FMLAs form a permanent network of young feminist activists committed to working for social justice and equality. Through participation in and organization of educational events, members develop strong leadership skills, learn about issues facing women in the 21st century and work towards the advancement of women on the UNT campus and throughout the world.
The Women’s Center works with organizations in the university and Denton communities to provide resources and services that enhance the experience of all our students by contributing to an academic atmosphere in which positive role models are highly visible and gender bias and inequities can be addressed and eradicated.
The Center acts as a central coordinating agency for campus and community groups, and offers opportunities and events that promote a broader understanding of the diverse experiences and ideas of women. The Center offers dynamic programs that enhance the educational experience of all our students, and provides resources and services that will help the women of our community to grow and develop personally and professionally.
Located in the University Union Room 430.
The Ally respects all people regardless of age, color, disability, gender, national origin, race, religion, sexual orientation, and veteran status. Our goal is to achieve a campus culture where every person can study or work in an environment free from discrimination and harassment. If you are located on the UNT campus, you too can be part of this important work. In less than two years, 125 persons at UNT have been trained as allies.
We the members of Students for Choice, find that women have protectable interests in life, health, and well being. In an ideal society there would be no need for abortion. Students for Choice ultimately seeks to end the need for abortion services by working to eradicate racism and sexism, promote contraception, quality reproductive health care and comprehensive, responsible sex education.
Gay and Lesbian Association of Denton GLAD is one of the largest student organizations, surpassed in size only by a few sororities, fraternities, and honor societies. The GLAD programming and planning agendas are currently set by an approach designed to examine, enhance, and improve the emotional, social, political, educational, and spiritual lives of Lesbians, Gay Men, Bisexuals and Transgendered people in our community.
A key aspect of GLAD's success is its increasing visibility and the growing support it receives from the university. When GLAD was first founded, Lesbians, Gay Men, Bisexuals, and Transgendered people in the North Texas community kept their visibility low. Increasingly, people are coming out and serving as example to their friends. GLAD's visibility enables its members to be more out, and, in turn, the visibility of its members allows GLAD to have increasing influence within the university and surrounding community. |
