HUES Women's Health Advocacy Institute

Welcome to HUES Women’s Health Advocacy Institute

We envision a community capable of addressing the interpersonal and systemic barriers that Black, Indigenous, Latina and/or Hispanic, Asian American, Pacific Islander, and Middle Eastern women face while navigating health and wellness systems.

Our Guiding Principles:

Our organization sees Black, Indigenous, and Chicana feminist epistemological praxis as that which guides our work.

Intersectional Experience:
We believe that healing, health, and wellness can only be achieved through recognizing, understanding, and creating responses that consider the intersections of race and/or ethnicity, gender, class, sexuality, nationality, place, ability, and other social identities.

Conversation:
We believe that healing, health, and wellness can only be actualized through the recollection, collection, and intentional dissemination of knowledge, cultural traditions, and herstories.

Action:
We believe that with knowledge comes a responsibility to disrupt and dismantle as a means of revitalizing and recreating opportunities for healing.

Community:
We believe that healing, health, and wellness should be community-centered, emphasizing the collective, fluid, hybrid, and interconnected knowledge and experiences of women of color.
