Essex Asian Women’s Association provides a forum for dialogue and discussion with the aim of promoting awareness of issues relating to Asian women (although women from all backgrounds are welcome), providing support and guidance and improving quality of life.
To empower Asian women to access a diverse range of health care initiatives through education and confidence building.
To challenge healthcare initiatives by addressing inequalities of provision of services accessible to Asian women.
To work with the appropriate agencies in assisting and guiding those women experiencing domestic violence.
To offer advice and support to Asian women who are isolated, helping them to integrate into the local community
To provide charitable advice and assistance to relieve the needs of others.
To arrange social events that will highlight the diversity of heritage that is entrenched in our different cultures.
EAWA benefits from the support of Southend Borough Council but needs much more in order to achieve all our objectives.
