What is WOGA?

Women of Global Action (WOGA) is a network of national movements encompassing over 150,000 women leaders around the world. Together, we educate and connect women to impact their world with God's love as they address issues of injustice impacting women and girls.

WOGA: LA is the first US chapter of Women of Global Action. We began in January of 2007 and we work to connect women who are passionate about what God is doing both locally and globally through women. Two of our primary goals are raising awareness and building compassion about such urgent issues as human trafficking, forced early marriage, FGM and the feminization of AIDS. We hold several forums a year with this in mind and we'd love to see you at an event! Check out our "upcoming events" section to see what's coming up next.

WOGA also has chapters in Colorado, Florida, South Carolina and Texas.

New Chapters in the Works!

Fenny Ang

During the recent Global Action meetings in Colorado, women in the US, Canada and Singapore found themselves so encouraged both by the amazing work being done by our WOGA sisters globally and by the fact that WOGA: LA exists that they are in the process of starting their own chapters!

Barb Prefontaine in Canada has already developed their WOGA charter and their first meeting was this week! Special guest was Peace Nihorimbere, WOGA Leader for Burundi and Rwanda.

Fenny Ang, Global Action Board Member, is working on getting WOGA Singapore up and running. She is planning step one by inviting potential WOGA leaders on a vision trip to India this December.

Beatriz Balbuena and Missy Barron in Houston have a vision for WOGA Houston. They are praying and looking for women to join their leadership team.

Debbie Christian in Colorado Springs continues to feel that WOGA needs a chapter in their city. She hopes to have their introductory meeting this spring.

Pray for these women as they ask God what's next for their chapter!
