Here are some early findings from In Focus, our new annual study examining the issues shaping AANHPI women and gender-expansive people nationwide! 👇

The majority of AANHPI women+ are caregivers, but 42% lack a health care provider for their own reproductive health care needs. Logos of NAPAWF, Sprout Insight, and Lake Research Partners are at the bottom.

AANHPI women+ carry significant caregiving responsibilities while navigating economic insecurity, gaps in health care, and fears around immigration status and enforcement. Nearly half are not confident in their economic ability to care for a family member who is seriously ill or injured, aging, or who has chronic health conditions. Among those caring for someone with a serious health or mental health condition, 40% know someone avoiding travel, medical care, work, or other public places because of immigration status.

napawf @napawf.org · 01/07/2026

Though we are relieved that the Supreme Court ruled to uphold the constitutionally protected right of birthright citizenship, we must stay vigilant. This was just one attack out of many within a broader effort to shrink who can fully participate in our democracy.

Four years ago today, SCOTUS overturned Roe & gave politicians the right to police decisions that should belong only to a pregnant person & their doctor, opening the floodgates to attacks on our reproductive freedom. We won't accept this as the status quo. We all deserve access to abortion care.
