Pan Pacific and Southeast Asia Women's Association (PPSEAWA), earlier Pan-Pacific Women's Association (PPWA), is an international women's organization, founded in Honolulu on Hawaii 1930.[1]
In 1928, the first Pan-Pacific Women's Conference was organised in Honolulu on Hawaii under the umbrella of Pan-Pacific Union with the support of the New Zealand Women Teachers' Association.[2] It was the first international women's conference arranged outside of the Western world and in the Pacific region. When the second Pan-Pacific Women's Conference was arranged on Honolulu on Hawaii in 1930, the Pan-Pacific Women's Association was founded. The Pan-Pacific Women's Association arranged the following Pan-Pacific Women's Conferences: Honolulu (1934 and 1949), Canada (1937), New Zealand (1952), The Philippines (1955) and Japan (1958).
The Pan-Pacific Women's Association (PPWA) changed its name to Pan Pacific and Southeast Asia Women's Association in 1955.[3] Recent and upcoming conference locations include Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia (2016), Taiwan (2019), and Wellington, New Zealand (2024).
