  AWSA was founded in Egypt in 1982 with Dr. Nawal El Saadawi as president. It was established by a group of 120 women who agreed that the struggle for the liberation of Arab people and freedom from economic, cultural and media domination cannot be separated from the liberation of Arab women. As an international non-profit organization, AWSA promotes Arab women's active participation in social, economic, cultural, and political life.

  AWSA has had consultative status with the Economic and Social Council of the United Nations since April 1985. It is also registered with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in Egypt, and has branches in a number of Arab countries, as well as working groups amongst Arab women emigrants in a few European countries, the United States, Canada, and Australia.
