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.

Have you Heard? WOGA Women Speak Up

From Mary, after attending her first WOGA: LA event:

It was God's perfect timing for me to come to the meeting on Sunday night. I can't wait to help network and spread the word. Is there anything else I can do for the next event? I have already invited ten friends and they are all in.

From Missy, WOGA: Houston Coordinator, after their first event:

I find myself sitting and beginning to ponder what God is doing with WOGA and each of our lives and I often have to stop for a moment and walk away. I get so overwhelmed with emotion and joy that I find myself speechless and sitting in awestruck wonder. I can't understand why He would let me be a part of this. I probably look like a crazy loon sometimes!!!

From Judy Mbugua in Nairobi, Kenya:

Over the weekend, my grandfather's family had to move to my Mom's place after their homes were completely burned down with everything. One member of the family died. Can you imagine 40 people in Mom's house?

From Cathy, WOGA: Tampa Bay Coordinator:

It's hard to believe only our THIRD meeting is Peace coming to speak! We feel sometimes like we are on a runaway train!!! But God is the engineer so we are fine!
