Asian Women Workers Newsletter (AWWN) is published quarterly by Committee for Asian Women (CAW). It reports the issues, news, struggles and life experiences on Asian women workers.

If you work with women workers, and you want to share your struggles and experiences in your country, we are glad to receive your contributions and publish it in the newsletter. We are also interested in exchanging publications with labour groups, women organisations and trade unions.

CAW is a regional women workers organisation with the following objectives:

1. Assists in consciousness raising among women workers in formal and informal sectors in Asia towards the realisation of the commonalities of their situations, problems and analysis;
   
2. Supports the organising efforts of the organised women workers to effect favourable changes in their lives;
   
3. Facilitates networking and linkages amongst women workers and related groups within Asia and outside for solidarity and support.
   
4. To be the regional platform for women workers in Asia, to facilitate and / or represent the voice of women workers in Asia.
