The first quarter of 2025 was a powerful launchpad for the Global Women’s Peace Network (GWPN) as we boldly lifted the theme:
“The Feminine Edge: Why Women’s Leadership Matters.” Thanks to the passion and dedication of WFWP leaders and partners, 20 vibrant events were hosted, co-sponsored, or attended by WFWP chapters, reaching 288 women, with 42% attending for the very first time!
In the first quarter of 2025, HerTribe gatherings across the nation united women in deep reflection, meaningful conversations, and creative activities. With 26 HerTribes hosting 250 women, including many newcomers, these gatherings fostered trust, sisterhood, and personal growth.
In a beautiful blending of themes, WFWP San Diego brought together faith, community, and empowerment under the harmonious banner of "Peace Begins with Me." It all started last month when Rohida Khan, a Victims Assistance Specialist with Homeland Security, and Caroline Betancourt, WFWP Acting Chairwoman in San Diego, collaborated with Keiko Leow and Solange Weiss, officers of the San Diego chapter, to host a lovely tea gathering at Rohida's home. The gathering stemmed from Rohida’s desire to create a regular space where women could have open, meaningful discussions on faith and social issues. This led to the creation of monthly teas centered on the theme “Peace Begins with Me.”
