Immigrant Rights
NAPAWF believes that a race and gender analysis is critical to the development of fair and just immigration reform and immigration-related policies. As policy makers and advocates continue to push for reforms to the U.S. immigration system, few have considered the impact these policies may have on immigrant women. Immigrant women are more likely than U.S. born women to live in poverty, be unemployed and lack health insurance. Accordingly, NAPAWF is committed advocating on the issue of immigrant rights and API women.

As a convener and co-chair of the National Coalition for Immigrant Women’s Rights (NCIWR), we currently engage in cross-movement building work by fostering relationships and developing policy strategies among reproductive rights/justice, women’s rights and immigrant rights organizations on the federal, state and local levels.
