From health care and wages, unemployment to paid leave, language access and immigrant rights, NAPAWF advocates for policies that give Asian American and Pacific Islander (AAPI) women and girls the agency to flourish in all aspects of life. But we know firsthand that the lived experiences of our communities are filled with systemic and structural barriers that prevent AAPI women from making the best decisions about their bodies, families and communities.
Based in Washington, D.C., NAPAWF’s Policy & Governmental Affairs team tracks relevant legislation, develops relationships with public officials, and ensures that the needs and voices of AAPI women and girls are heard by lawmakers and decision-makers. This work is done in collaboration with NAPAWF’s Field staff and chapter members across the country.
Together, we are a formidable movement advancing the progressive priorities of AAPI women and girls.
The NAPAWF Team publishes factsheets, reports, and other resources that serve as authentic sources of information about diverse AAPI communities.
NAPAWF members build power with their communities in six chapters across the country.
