Asian Women United
Spotlighting the Varied Experiences of Asian America Pacific Islander Women
AWU was founded in 1976 by a group of San Francisco Bay Area Asian American women as Asian Women United and received its non-profit organization status in 1981. AWU is an intergenerational, women-led nonprofit founded in 1976 to further the representation of AA and PI women. Today, we continue to tell and uplift diverse and untold stories from our communities. We do this through in-person gatherings and events, publishing and producing media and events to showcase artists’ stories and work.
We are an all volunteer-run nonprofit organization dedicated to creating work for and by Asian American women. Your generous donation will help us further our mission. Thank you for all your support!
