Concerned Women for America (CWA) is a socially conservative[1] Christian non-profit women's activist group in the United States. Headquartered in Washington D.C.,[2] the CWA is involved in social and political movements, through which it aims to incorporate Christian ideology.[3] The group is primarily led by women for women,[4] but it welcomes men who support its beliefs and efforts.[2]

The group was founded in San Diego, California in 1979 by Beverly LaHaye, whose husband Timothy LaHaye was an evangelical Christian minister and author of Battle for the Mind, as well as coauthor of the Left Behind series.[5][6] Recognized as a 501(c)(3) public policy women's organization, the CWA aims to develop more "responsible citizens" through the promotion of Christian ideologies within society and politics.[3]

The CWA identifies itself as an amalgam of "policy experts and...activists[s]" whose anti-feminist approach to politics[4] bolsters its mission to "protect and promote Biblical values among all citizens."[3]
