United Methodist Women is seeking applications from young women to be part of a seminar that will bring Christian women ages 18-35 from Japan, Korea and the United States together to focus on violence against women. We will explore gender-based violence and discrimination and the environment that fosters violence, and we will discuss the international conventions and resolutions established to end such violence. We will also consider how our faith calls us to respond. The seminar will be held at the Church Center for the United Nations, across the street from the United Nations February 18-24, 2012.

The application deadlines is November 15th. Visit http://new.gbgm-umc.org/umw/resources/articles/item/index.cfm?id=684 for more information.
