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.

✨ Last week, I headed to D.C. for an exciting work retreat with the Intersections team! We spent time strategizing for the impactful work ahead, and I was so happy to connect with these colleagues in person. It’s an honor to collaborate on this initiative with our incredible partners, In Our Own Voices, Inc. and the National Asian Pacific American Women's Forum (NAPAWF). P.S. Took the Amtrak for the first time—note to self: Dramamine is a must! 🚆😂 #Intersections #ReproductiveJustice #LatinaInstitute

Happy birthday to the late Corky Lee, a trailblazing Chinese American photographer and activist. Corky dedicated his life to capturing pivotal moments and stories of Asian Americans that often went unreported by mainstream media. From the Vincent Chin protests to demonstrations against anti-Hindu violence, his work ensured our history was seen and heard.

Last week, our Executive Director, Sung Yeon Choimorrow joined an Asian American and NHPI Voting Rights Roundtable at the White House along with other community leaders.

Today, National Asian Pacific American Women's Forum (NAPAWF) released a report shedding light on the intersectional lived experiences of Asian American, Native Hawaiian, and Pacific Islander (#AANHPI) women and gender expansive individuals as a critical starting point to advocate for #equalpay and equitable working conditions. The report analyzed the results of interviews conducted with AANHPI leaders and community members, revealing many barriers faced by AANHPI communities and access to economic stability and workplace equity, such as workplace discrimination, inadequate employee benefits, unpaid labor for #caregiving, and high cost of living.

This article on NHPI Women's Equal Pay Day discusses the pay disparities faced by Native Hawaiian and Pacific Islander women, who earn significantly less than their white male counterparts. It emphasizes the importance of disaggregating data to better understand these inequalities and calls for more research and advocacy to address the wage gap. Read more here: https://bit.ly/3Z5ygzb

For every dollar earned by white, non-Hispanic men working full time, year-round in 2022, NHPI women, working full time, year-round only earned 66 cents. The biggest wage gaps experienced by NHPI women are hidden in data that lumps Asian American (AA) Native Hawaiian and Pacific Islander people together. NHPI women should not have to decide between pursuing their careers or working to provide for their families basic needs. Often, many are forced to work laborious jobs that do not give them sustainable benefits or equitable pay wages. We reject accepting this narrative for our communities.

Wage gaps affect every aspect of our lives, from accessing the health care we need to deciding if and when to start a family. Addressing the gender wage gap is a crucial step to achieving economic justice for NHPI communities. Join us today to advocate for #NHPIEqualPay!
