AAUW—with more than 100,000 members, 1,000 branches, and 550 college/university institution partners nationwide—advocates education and equity for women and girls. Since its founding in 1881, members have examined and taken positions on the fundamental issues of the day—educational, social, economic, and political. Our commitment to our mission is reflected in our public policy advocacy, community programs, leadership development (Math/Science Luncheon 2010, Delaware Juniors pictured on the right), voter education campaign and conventions. AAUW's work extends globally through its international connections.
The AAUW Legal Advocacy Fund works to combat sex discrimination in higher education and workplaces through community and campus outreach programs, a resource library and online advocacy tools, a Legal Referral Network, and various research reports. LAF provides support to workplace sex discrimination cases that have the potential to make a difference to all women.
