About CAPWIP
The CENTER FOR ASIA PACIFIC WOMEN IN POLITICS (CAPWIP) is a non-partisan, non-profit and non-governmental organization dedicated to promoting equal participation of women in politics, governance and decision-making.
It was established in 1992 by a group of women from the Asia-Pacific region who share a vision of governance the affirms gender equality, integrity and accountability, excellence, sustainable development and peace.
CAPWIP advocates transformative politics which is the use of power to create change towards economic, social and political equity between sexes and among sectors within the context of shaping a society that is just, humane and promotes a sustainable way of life.
GOAL
To create a critical mass of competent, committed and effective women leaders at local and national levels and to develop a responsible women’s citizenry at the base who, together, will work to transform politics and governance for the common good. Wome leaders without an organized base run the risks of tokenism and cooptation; women’s organizations without responsible women leaders can easily fragment or be coopted.
VISION
We envision governance in the Asia Pacific region as an affirmation of excellence, integrity and accountability, gender equality, sustainable development and peace.
