Get to Know Us
Originally set up in 1972 as the New York Women's Anthropology Conference, IWAC changed its name when it became accredited as a roster organization at the United Nations NGO Branch. Since 1974 the International Women's Anthropology Conference (IWAC) has been active at the U.N. and elsewhere promoting women's rights and encouraging scholars and activists in their work towards this goal.
