The Pan Pacific and Southeast Asia Women's Association (PPSEAWA) was founded in Honolulu, Hawaii in 1930 with the intention to “strengthen the bonds of peace among Pacific peoples by promoting a better understanding and friendship among the women of all Pacific countries.” The women organizers sought to “promote cooperation…for the study and betterment of existing conditions” throughout the Pacific Rim. The Association initially conducted its work primarily through international meetings where delegates shared information and raised awareness about international women’s issues.
