CWFL offers two Fellowship programs: Hybrid and Distance Learning. Both Fellowship programs run for a full calendar year with the purpose to give women of faith the opportunity to increase their capacity and leadership skills, in order to more fully address religious freedom, conflict resolution, and peacebuilding in their own contexts. All interested women of faith are encouraged to apply; applications due by January 24.

The two-day conference drew over 100 participants from Vietnam, the U.S., and other countries around the world. The successful conference follows last year’s publication of the first ever religious freedom textbook in Vietnam, a joint project between IGE and VNU Law School.

IGE’s CWFL hosted the 2020 and 2021 Hybrid Fellowship Cohorts for their first week-long leadership development workshop. The five-day workshop focused on three core areas of leadership development. The Fellowship program has trained 86 women of faith across 32 countries to date.

From August 17–19, IGE and its partners conducted a Religious Freedom Education and Dialogue (RFED) seminar in the Muang Mai District of Phongsaly Province. According to IGE Laos program officer Steve Bailey, “This was only the second time Phongsaly Province has allowed a RFED seminar to take place in the province, and the first time it has taken place in Muang Mai District. This is significant because there are an increasing number of tribal minority people who have become Christians in this District.”
