AWIU has sponsored more than 100 delegations to Europe, Africa, Asia, the Soviet Union, Latin America, the Middle East, China, Australia and New Zealand for over 45 years. We have been to every continent except Antarctica. Some of our delegations have broken new ground by being the first delegation of women to be permitted to enter a country. These milestones include our first delegation to Russia in 1968, our delegation to China in 1973 and Saudi Arabia in 2002. In 2009, the delegation to Libya marked another milestone – the first delegation of American women to visit there in 40 years.
