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.

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.

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!

Today is NHPI Equal Pay Day. On average, NHPI women earn just 66 cents for every dollar earned by white, non-Hispanic men, but the gap is even wider for many. Learn more about the wage gap: https://bit.ly/3Z24Fqs

This Wednesday, August 28th marks Native Hawaiian Pacific Islander (NHPI) Women’s Equal Pay Day, a day to raise awareness about the wage gap faced by NHPI women. Often overlooked in combined data with Asian Americans, NHPI women earn just 66 cents for every dollar earned by their white, non-Hispanic male counterparts. This disparity can only be addressed if we have full information on its impact on NHPI Women. In partnership with Equal Pay Today and National Asian Pacific American Women's Forum (NAPAWF), our member organization Empowering Pacific Islander Communities (EPIC), is leading efforts to ensure that all NHPI women are seen and heard in this fight for wage equity. EPIC is dedicated to building political power, fostering leadership, and changing the narrative by centering NHPI voices and lived experiences.

This Women’s Equality Day, we celebrate women’s right to vote by urging you to the polls this November. But don’t stop there! As the bundle of sticks is stronger than the individual, so too are our communities stronger than individual voices. Speak to your mothers, sisters, aunties, and friends to encourage them to vote as well. Only together can we elevate representatives to fight on our behalf, and speak with our voices. If you wish to learn more about voting and how to talk about it to your community, NAPAWF has you covered: On Voting: https://napawf.org/vote/ On Priorities for AANHPI Women: https://lnkd.in/eiyGF983 How to Talk About Voting: https://lnkd.in/exV7SX_5
