Building Women Leaders

United Methodist Women is a longtime partner of the World Student Christian Federation, a global association of student Christian groups connecting young leaders around the world to promote positive change. United Methodist Women members’ Mission Giving supports WSCF programs in the Middle East, Latin America and the Caribbean, and Asia-Pacific, whose offices in Hong Kong I visited in May 2018.Sunita Suna is the regional executive for the Asia-Pacific region of the World Student Christian Federation. She met me at a subway exit in Hong Kong on a rainy morning and took me to the federation’s busy, packed office on the 18th floor of a nearby skyscraper. Often out marching in solidarity with women, migrants and other marginalized groups or hosting Bible studies or workshops, the office was full during some downtime.- - -This episode originally appeared in the November/December 2020 issue of response, the award winning magazine from United Methodist Women.Visit www.UnitedMethodistWomen.org to find out more.
