AWIU has sponsored more than 55 delegations to more than 100 countries on every continent except Antarctica, including visits to countries in Africa, Latin America, Central America, Eastern Europe, the Middle East, Asia (India, Burma, Mongolia, Japan, China, Malaysia, and Asia Pacific) and others. 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.
