Asian-Pacific Resource and Research Centre for Women

The Asian-Pacific Resource and Research Centre for Women (ARROW) is a regional non-profit women’s rights non-government organization based in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, and has consultative status with the Economic and Social Council of the United Nations.

Since its establishment in 1993, ARROW has been working to advance women’s rights, particularly in the areas of health and sexuality, and to empower women through information and knowledge, evidence generation, advocacy, capacity building, partnership building, and organisational development.

ARROW also builds cross-movement alliances, believing in the interconnectedness and indivisibility of human rights, where the realization of sexual and reproductive rights are part and parcel of addressing rights to development, to adequate food and nutrition, to decent work and livelihood, to housing, to health, to education, and to information, among others.
