WOGA: Seattle launched on Sunday, October 11 with lots of enthusiasm and a desire to connect women who are concerned about justice issues facing women globally.
The meeting began with a showing of "The Girl Effect" video (look for it on You Tube) which demonstrates the beneficial domino effect of dedicating resources to girls.
One of the women in the group is the Mom of a woman in WOGA:LA. The woman from WOGA: LA had come up to us earlier in the year to say she thought her Mom would love WOGA. At that time, there was no WOGA: Seattle. How neat that we were able to reconnect with her and that she joined us at our first meeting!
Welcome to WOGA, WOGA: Seattle - we know great things are ahead for you!
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.
