The application of effective field theories to hadronic parity violation in two- and three-nucleon systems is described. These methods provide several important advantages over the traditionally used meson-exchange models, e.g., model independence and the possibility to reliably estimate theoretical errors. We focus on the so-called "pionless" theory and describe calculations of various two- and three-nucleon observables. The role of parity-violating three-nucleon interactions is also discussed.
