INTERNATIONAL NETWORK MEETINGS

At the founding meeting in Okinawa, May 1997, women gathered to share information on US military operations in our various countries. Participants decided to meet again in Washington, DC, October 1998 to bring their experiences to US organizations, and Members of Congress and their staff.  The third meeting, entitled “Redefining Security: International Women’s Summit,” was timed to coincide with the G-8 Summit in Okinawa, June 2000. The Network met in South Korea in 2002, Philippines in 2004, San Francisco Bay Area in 2007, and Guam in 2009.  Each meeting has sessions that are open to the public, as well as site visits and in-depth discussions for participants.
