The University Women’s Association of Thiruvananthapuram was established in 1963 as a voluntary organisation of Graduate women who were engaged in activities which provide them with opportunities to participate fully in professional and public life and to contribute their share effectively to the well being of the community to which they belong. The formation of this Association marked the culmination of the long desire of some of the graduate women of Thiruvananthapuram to have a common forum for free exchange of ideas and views.

The activities of the University Women’s Association, Thiruvananthapuram, are in line with the aim of the Indian Federation of University Women’s Association (IFUWA).

The objectives of this UWA are

• To stimulate and further the interest of university women in academic, cultural and civic life.
• To provide a forum for exchange of views on educational and socio-economic problems.
• To promote understanding and friendship between University Women throughout the world.
