The organization clearly defined "short stature" to be men 170 cm (5'7") or below and women 157.5 cm (5'2") or below in height.〔(NOSSA FAQ )〕 The group advocated on behalf of short people and hoped to foster greater acceptance of short people within society. NOSSA was opposed to the prejudice known as heightism. The group defined heightism as, "a prejudiced attitude about human height that often results in discrimination. It is based on the belief that short stature is an inferior trait and therefore undesirable."〔(NOSSA web page ) on heightism (2006)〕 The organization ran a series of public education programs, sponsored height-related research, acted as a media "watch-dog" group, provided legal assistance for those affected by heightism, hosted online discussion groups, and invited members to gather once a year for an annual convention. NOSSA ended in early 2013 due to lack of support. ==History== NOSSA was formed in New York in 2005. The organization is run by a four-person board of directors (trustees) who are elected to serve four-year terms in office. In May 2006 the group's secretary made comments in support of a Nebraska judge's decision not to send a short man to jail over sexual abuse charges, due to a risk of his stature affecting his safety in prison.〔(Too short for prison ruling protested ) - Washington Times, May 27, 2006.〕 The organization apologised for the comments and removed the trustee who had made them, as well as making a donation to the Nebraska Children and Families Foundation.〔(NOSSA response to Mangano comments ) - NOSSA Blogspot page, May 27, 2006.〕 Short Support Editor, Steven Goldsmith became the new Secretary. In July 2006, NOSSA began producing a podcast called, ''Standing Tall Against Discrimination.'' In May 2008, NOSSA was featured in the Canadian Documentary S&M Short and Male.〔(Short & Male Documentary ) - Short & Male Documentary Website, September 22, 2008.〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「National Organization of Short Statured Adults」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク 翻訳と辞書 : 翻訳のためのインターネットリソース Copyright(C) kotoba.ne.jp 1997-2016.
