South Asia Union is a nonprofit initiative of eShe, an independent, women-led newsroom based in Seattle and DC that produces public-interest journalism focused on women, South Asian diaspora, and gender-diverse communities.

With ideas, inspiration and an intimate look at the world through ‘the female gaze’, eShe has touched the lives of millions of women and men worldwide since its launch in July 2017.

Headquartered in Seattle, WA, with operations in Washington DC, USA, eShe is fiscally sponsored by Tiny News Collective (EIN 85-3963369), a 501(c)(3) charitable organization.

With volunteers in North America and India, eShe documents the lived experiences, civic realities and political futures of South Asian women and gender-diverse communities through public-interest journalism and narrative storytelling.

eShe was media partner for the sixth #empowHERaccess Global Prestige Awards 2026 in Seattle, the sixth FemmeQ Summit 2023 in Strasbourg, The SABERA Awards 2021, Economic Times SDGs Summit 2020, Grant Thornton SABERA 2020 Awards, and Women Economic Forum 2017. It is ranked among the top 25 women’s magazines in the world by content aggregator Feedspot.

We are on a mission to harness women’s voices and solidarity for peacebuilding in South Asia. We hosted an Indo-Pak Peace Summit Led by Women in 2021, bringing together eminent women from around the world to discuss solutions for peace in South Asia. The first edition of eShe‘s flagship event South Asia Union Summit Led by Women featured 50 speakers from 13 countries.

The second edition is scheduled to take place from 13 – 15 November 2026.

We’re looking at more conversations, dialogues and peace talks at a regional level across South Asia, and are excited and eager to welcome volunteers to join hands with us in our mission.
