Asian Pacific Islander American (APIA) women and girls play a vital role in the cultural, economic, and social fabric of our region. Yet too often, their contributions are overlooked, and their communities are under-resourced. From disparities in healthcare and barriers to economic opportunity to the rise in anti-Asian discrimination, APIA women and girls continue to face challenges that require targeted attention and investment.
During Asian Pacific Islander American History Month, we hosted a conversation that centered the leadership, resilience, and advocacy of APIA women. The webinar featured Krittika Ghosh, Executive Director of DVRP, and Sue Ann Hong, President & CEO of CAPAW—two leaders advancing equity through policy, direct services, and grassroots organizing. Together, they shared how APIA-led organizations are building cross-community coalitions to drive progress on safety, opportunity, and justice.
The session was moderated by Lakshmi Sridaran, Chief of Staff at The Women’s Foundation.
