Title A name given to the resource Women Workers Project members march in the 1999 Philippine Independence Day Parade Description An account of the resource Members of CAAAV march with a blue banner at the annual Philippine Independence Day Parade. The banner reads, "FILIPINA WORKERS FOR LIBERATION / Women Workers Project of CAAAV." The Women Workers Project (WWP) of CAAAV began in 1996 to organize Asian women sex workers in New York City. WWP soon expanded its outreach to other Asian immigrant women working in informal service industries, especially Filipina domestic workers. The Fall 2000 issue of CAAAV Voice states that "WWP's mission is to collectively create conditions for Asian domestic workers to gain control over their labor and living conditions... WWP members seek to build cooperatives, develop alternative health care programs for undocumented working women, engage in campaigns which will challenge racist and sexist immigration and labor policy, provide peer advocacy, and build community among all Asian women workers who labor in the informal sector." WWP is also known as Kalayaan at Pagkakaisa ng mga Manggagawang Pilipina.
