Building power with AAPI women and girls since 1996
About us
NAPAWF is the only organization focused on building power with AAPI women and girls to influence critical decisions that affect our lives, our families and our communities. Using a reproductive justice framework, we elevate AAPI women and girls to impact policy and drive systemic change in the United States. NAPAWF was founded in 1996 to realize the vision of 100 AAPI women who recognized the need for an organization that would amplify AAPI women’s stories and experiences. Being seen and heard in the public narrative gives us the power to shape the policy and cultural change needed to gain agency over our lives, families, and communities. Today, we are mobilizing and building power in 11 cities across the United States to create social, political, and economic change for AAPI women and girls. We also show up in solidarity for other women of color who are experiencing injustice and harms of oppression and marginalization.

For many AANHPIs, mental health treatment is still out of reach due to stigma, lack of culturally-competent providers, or care being unaffordable. It is okay to take care of yourself – and you should be able to afford to take care of yourself. #MinorityMentalHealthAwarenessMonth

The Supreme Court didn’t cut emergency abortion care - for now. Let’s be clear - everyone in a health emergency should get the care they need, including abortion, without political interference. We need federal legislation that restores the right to abortion & ensures EVERYONE can access the care they want and need.
