Pacific Graduate Women's Network (PGWNet)
PGWNet is the Pacific Regional Grouping of the
International Federation of University Women
(IFUW). Its goals are:
- To promote understanding among graduate women of or in
Pacific countries of sociological, economic, and historic background they have
in common and also of their differences.
- To advocate for improvements in the status of women and
girls in the Pacific region so that they can contribute to the social,
political and business life of their country and assume decision-making and
leadership roles.
- To promote lifelong education for women and girls in the
Pacific region in order that they can take their rightful place in business,
education and employment sectors, science and technology and the arts.
- To enable graduate women in the Pacific region to use
their expertise to effect social, political and economic change which
recognizes the human rights of women and girls.
Membership is open to any national federation or association
(NFA) in the Pacific region which is already a member or associate member of
IFUW. Special membership is available for smaller national organizations of
women eligible to be individual members of IFUW and for individuals living
within the Pacific region where there is not yet a national affiliate.
