Organisation for Women of Asian and African Descent

The Organisation for Women of Asian and African Descent (OWAAD) was an activist organisation for British black and Asian women founded in 1978, founder members included Stella Dadzie and Olive Morris. It has been called "a watershed in the history of Black women's rights activism".

OWAAD was a broadly socialist, non-hierarchical national umbrella organisation. It held four annual conferences from 1979 to 1982, the first leading to black women's groups being formed nationwide. OWAAD held a sit-in at Heathrow Airport to protest virginity tests being carried out on Asian female immigrants to test their residency and marriage claims.

OWAAD disbanded in 1982 for a variety of reasons.
