Metro New York District's UU Women's Association was very active, though they have either disbanded or don't have a website. Their last known webpage had this to say:
WHAT IS THE UUWA?
The Unitarian Universalist Women's Association (UUWA) was formed in 1964 by the union of the New York League of Women and the Association of Universalist Women of the New York Metropolitan District. In 1989, the UUWA agreed to provide leadership for the Metro NY District Women and Religion Committee. The Women and Religion Committee focuses on issues of feminist spirituality and encourages awareness of such issues within the district at large. The two groups operate jointly.
OUR MISSION STATEMENT
The Unitarian Universalist Women's Association exists to provide a support network beyond our congregations for the promotion of feminist values within the Metro New York District. We do this by:
- Acting as a central clearinghouse for UU women in the district
- Organizing opportunities for interconnection
- Providing feminist focus toward personal, political, and spiritual growth
- Providing safe space for women
- Nurturing, supporting, and inspiring women's work
WHAT DO WE DO?
We reach out to individual and groups through programs we sponsor that are responsive to current interests and needs.
Our Fall Renewal weekend includes a focused in-depth topic exploration at a comfortable conference center with beautiful natural surroundings. The Mid-Winter Annual Meeting offers UU women a one-day program of feminist interest. Special events are scheduled when the opportunity arises.
Look for information about our activities on the District Calendar.
HOW TO PARTICIPATE AND CONTRIBUTE
We welcome women of all ages concerned with social action and personal growth and inspired by women realizing their potential and improving our world.

Women and Religion Committee
The Women and Religion Committee was established following adoption of a resolution at General Assembly in 1977 that requested, in part, that the UUA “. . .(a) join with those who are encouraging others in the society to examine the relationship between religious and cultural attitudes toward women, and (b) send a representative and resource materials to associations appropriate to furthering the above goals.” In cooperation with the Unitarian Universalist Women’s Association, the Women and Religion Committee offers special programs, workshops, retreats, and a support network for promoting feminist values.
