The All Pakistan Women's Association (APWA) is a non-profit and non-political organization whose fundamental aim is to see the furtherance of the moral, social and economic welfare of the women and children of Pakistan.

APWA was founded by Begum Raana Liaquat Ali Khan in 1949, a leading activist for womens rights, who stated that the role of women in the welfare of society is no less important than that of men. The current President of the organization is Begum Daulat A. Hidayatullah

Since its foundation, APWA has been a very active organization, with branches in 56 districts, as well as fringe urban and rural branches across Pakistan. It celebrates major events such as International Women's Day, UN Day and UNICEF Day, and relies on donors, entrepreneurs and philanthropists to fund its work.

APWA was awarded the UNESCO Adult Literacy Prize in 1974 and later the Peace Messenger Certificate in 1987.
