Who We Are

Unitarian Universalist Women (UUWF), registered as Unitarian Universalist Women’s Federation and also known as UUW, is a continental membership organization that advances equity and justice for women through education and advocacy. It is an independent non-profit, 501(c)(3) corporation and one of only three associate member organizations of the Unitarian Universalist Association (UUA). Inheritor of a proud tradition, UUWF was formed in 1963 through consolidation of the Association of Universalist Women (1869) and the Alliance of Unitarian Women (1890). For more information visit uuwf.org and uua.org.
