Who: "What About Us?" is a project designed by a core group of Pan Asian teen girls in the Twin Cities to educate peers and parents about gender inequality and sexual violence in Asian American & Pacific Islander community. Its mission is to change the community perceptions about gender inequalities, to prevent girls from being victims of sexual violence and develop a statewide and nation-wide youth network to address such issues. Our 3-year Public Education Campaign, - What About Us?, successfully advocated for girls' rights, and increased public recognition of the value of women and girls to society.
