About Women’s Wing of Okinawa

Our mission

Women’s Wing of Okinawa is a women’s organization which aims to bring Okinawa a gender-free society through overseas study tours. We learn from women all over the world about their social activities, education, labor and welfare system. These opportunities provide our members the leadership development training and lead to a contribution of building up Okinawa the peaceful, energetic and enrichment community.

History

It was first started as an women’s overseas seminar sponsored by Okinawa prefecture in 1984. Then 1987, the Women’s Wing of Okinawa was established and has provided 483 women from Okinawa an international learning experience. Those leaders are now part of our unique women’s alumni network in Okinawa and play active part of Okinawan society like chairmen or members of local committees, members of local assemblies, company executives, entrepreneurs and more. We have visited 21 countries. (Thailand, Singapore, Malaysia, Indonesia, Sweden, Denmark, Germany, Australia, Canada, USA, Finland, Netherland, New Zealand, Switzerland, Norway, China, South Korea, Vietnam, Taiwan, France and UK)
