About [Edit]
UUWF is a continental membership organization that advances justice for women through education and advocacy. It is an independent non-profit, 501 (c) (3) corporation and one of only three associate member organizaions of the Unitarian Universalist Association.
Inheritor of a proud tradition, UUWF was formed in 1963 through consolidation of the Association of Universalist Women (founded in 1869; believed to be the first organization of church women in the United States) and the Alliance of Unitarian Women (1890).
Purposes:
• We affirm the inherent value of each woman within our community;
• We affirm the importance of women's voices in our religious quest;
• We link hearts and minds in service of women's truths;
• We pledge action against the religious roots of sexism;
• We pledge to support the diversity of religious feminisms;
• We work to raise consciousness of the linked nature of oppressions;
• We seek justice for all women in the struggle to transform institutions of oppression;
• We highlight and celebrate women's achievements – past, present and future.
