The Pan-African Women Network of the Americas (PAWNA)

WHO WE ARE

About Us

PAWNA was established to strengthen the voice and visibility of African women and women of African descent across the Americas. We bring together professionals, entrepreneurs, academics, community leaders, students, and advocates who believe that when women have access to opportunities, mentorship, and strong networks, entire communities benefit.

Our work combines advocacy, leadership development, research, partnerships, and practical programmes that encourage women to participate fully in business, public life, and community development.
