Building on the strong presence of the IAWN during the 2008 Lambeth Conference, women representing 26 of the 38 Anglican provinces are expected. "We will focus on progress or lack thereof toward equality and empowerment for women in our regions," said Mrs. Priscilla Julie of the Church of the Province of the Indian Ocean, who chairs the IAWN Steering Group. "How does our situation measure up against the goals of the Beijing Platform for Action and Millennium Development Goal #3: to promote gender equality and empower women?," she said. "Even more important, what progress has been made on resolution 13-31 of the Anglican Consultative Council in 2005, which acknowledged the importance of this MDG goal and requested, inter alia, "all member churches to work toward the realization of this goal in their structures of governance, and in other bodies to which they nominate or appoint."

The report will include activities of the IAWN in the four years since ACC-13 met in Nottingham, plans for the future, and recommendations for ACC action. During their week together in New York, IAWN representatives will share their struggles and successes, build on common goals that have been made, and plan for the future. They will worship, make reports, vote on new members to the Steering Group and create recommendations for further action. Some will stay on in New York to attend the 53rd Session of the UN Commission on the Status of Women as part of the Anglican delegation organized by the Anglican Observer's Office. That meeting runs from March 2 to March 13 with the theme of "The equal sharing of responsibilities between women and men, including caregiving in the context of HIV/AIDS". http://www.un.org/womenwatch/daw/csw/53sess.htm The IAWN was formed in November 1996 following a consultation convened by the ACC and funded by the Mothers' Union, headquartered in London, and the United Thank Offering of The Episcopal Church. Women from 14 of the (then) 32 provinces of the Anglican Communion met in London and agreed that an International Anglican Women's Network be formed. Its mandate was to report the work of women and the challenges that they face to the ACC. One of the official Anglican Communion networks (http://iawn.anglicancommunion.org/index.cfm), the IAWN has had a remarkable resurgence over the last few years. IAWN started to build momentum leading up to the 1998 Lambeth Conference, but languished subsequently. (No funding is provided in the Anglican Communion budget for networks.) In March 2006, the IAWN was re-invigorated at a meeting of Anglican delegates to the 50th United Nations Commission on the Status of Women (UNCSW) by Archdeacon Taimalelagi Fagamalama Tuatagaloa-Matalavea, the former Anglican Observer to the United Nations, and Dr. Jenny Plane Te Paa with support from AWE, Anglican Women's Empowerment. A new structure was approved, consisting of 38 link representatives (each designated by the primate of her province) and an eight-member Steering Group (seven elected and one appointed). The Episcopal Church is hosting the February meeting, which is being coordinated by the Steering Group through Ms. Kim Robey, Program Officer for Women's Ministries and IAWN secretary. "I'm so pleased with the eager response we have had to the invitations for this meeting," she said. "I'm excited at the prospect of spending a week with women from all over the world. It's a tribute to the Anglican Communion's growing commitment to women that representatives are coming from so many provinces."
