About NAPAWF
The National Asian Pacific American Women's Forum (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. Today, we are mobilizing and building power in cities across the United States to create social, political, and economic change for AAPI women and girls. Five of those cities have local staff on the ground. We also show up in solidarity for other women of color who are experiencing injustice and harms of oppression and marginalization.
Our work is focused on the following strategies:
- Policy and Structural Change

- Legal Advocacy and Judicial Strategy

- Reproductive Rights and Health
