The Asian Center for Women’s Studies at Ewha Womans University is launching the Ewha Global Empowerment Program (EGEP). The goal of our educational program is to empower women working in non-governmental public sectors and to nourish the next generation of women leaders in Asia and Africa. Fulfilling Ewhas education spirit, we hope to participate in the global effort to advance women’s rights and gender equality and contribute to the enlargement of opportunities for womens education and networks in Asia and Africa.  EGEP is a two-week residential program that will take place twice a year (January and July) run by Ewha Womans University faculty and   international experts and scholars.
