Mission: The northstate women's health network aims to promote the full scope of reproductive justice within northern california and beyond. We recognize that our world view is influenced by our community and our experiences, and find great value in the global perspective of our sisters in communities outside of the united states. Nswhn strives to share knowledge, experiences and resources to empower the women we reach. Through this process, we aim to foster education toward increased personal and economic independence leading to empowerment for the women we work with and the communities they live in.
