|Summary of the purposes of<br>the charity as set out in its<br>governing document|Para 1.17|Ethnic Minority Welsh Women Achievement<br>Association (EMWWAA) formerly known as<br>the Welsh Asian Women Achievement<br>Award<br>(WAWAA) is<br>a<br>charitable<br>organisation that aims to create a network of<br>women and girls of ethnic minority origin<br>across Wales to provide beacons of<br>inspiration<br>for<br>current<br>and<br>upcoming<br>generations!<br>EMWWAA's aim is to empower and inspire<br>women and girls of ethnic minorities in<br>Wales<br>through<br>recognition<br>of<br>their<br>contributions.

|||and Achievement: Life Stories of Ethnic<br>Minority Women in Wales”.<br>This project will reveal how ethnic minority<br>women have built lives in Wales and made<br>significant contributions to Welsh society.<br>Our focus is on the life stories of ethnic<br>minority women who were born or have<br>settled in various parts of Wales since 1948.<br>This oral history, collected in both audio and<br>audio-visual forms and complemented by<br>family photos, will form the basis for a book,<br>DVD, website, and an archive. It will be<br>made accessible to a wide audience via the<br>Peoples’ Collection. The women featured<br>include both some from long-settled often<br>mixed families and women who have come<br>from various parts of South and East Asia,<br>Africa, the Caribbean, and the Middle East.<br>Some arrived as migrant workers, others as<br>refugees, students, or the wives of students.<br>Their life experience is an important part of<br>the history of multi-ethnic Wales and helps<br>chart social changes since the 1950s.<br>Individual stories testify both to struggle<br>against the odds and to the remarkable<br>contribution that minority women have made<br>to many sectors of Welsh society.|
