Even before Roe v. Wade and the constitutional right to abortion were overturned in 2022, reproductive care was denied to many.

Barriers to abortion continue to disproportionately impact women of color, low-income women, and immigrant women. As AAPI women and girls, we know the terrible impact these restrictions have on our lives.

At NAPAWF, we’re fighting to make sure every person can make decisions about their bodies, sexuality, and reproductive health. So we can choose if, when, and how to grow our families, access sexual and reproductive health resources that make sense for us. As we fight for our most basic bodily rights, we’re dedicated to building structural change through policymaking, awareness campaigns, and community engagement.
