Intersectional. Inclusive. Intergenerational. Empowering.
Though we are nonpartisan, we are not values-neutral: We fight to remove the barriers and biases that stand in the way of gender equity. AAUW provides critical funding and support to advance equity in education and improve the lives of women and girls both in the U.S. and internationally. And we advocate for federal, state and local laws and policies to ensure equity and end discrimination.
