Global Women's Caucus

Dear GWC community,

May is recognized as both Asian American and Pacific Islander (AAPI) Heritage Month and Women's Health Month. We want to use this month to raise awareness for the incredible work being done to support women's rights globally and highlight the unique experiences and struggles faced by AAPI women.

Despite progress being made towards equality, women worldwide continue to face challenges such as gender-based violence, unequal pay, and limited access to healthcare. This month, we want to celebrate the strength and resilience of women who are fighting for their rights and making a positive impact on their communities.

We also want to recognize the important contributions of AAPI women to our society and honor their heritage and culture. By uplifting and centering the voices of AAPI women, we can work towards a more inclusive and equitable world.

As we continue to advocate for women's rights, we must also prioritize mental health and self-care. It's essential to take time to recharge and focus on our well-being so that we can continue to fight for a better future.

We wish you all a happy and empowering AAPI Heritage Month and Women's Health Month. Let's continue to fight for equality and justice for all.

In solidarity,
GWC Communications Co-Directors
Shannon Parry and Jo Meszaros

We are committed to fostering and promoting gender-informed perspectives in issues analysis, communication and policy-making for issues that impact women. We take action to address policies that negatively impact women and their families and so, by implication, the economy and our democracy.

Our Volunteers help American women around the world become real activists in the struggle for women's rights no matter where they live and no matter how small or large their numbers -- whether a committee of one or one hundred. Learn about the ways you can volunteer with the Global Women's Caucus.

Our Mission guides us to take actions to addresses policy that negatively impacts women and their families, and to fight tirelessly for the policies that bolster and protect them. 

Our Leaders bring diverse experiences to the Global Women's Caucus, with expertise in a variety of fields ranging from law to education; from technology to arts.
