The Ecumenical Forum of European Christian Women is an international, church-related Organisation which is active in 30 countries of Europe. EFECW is a network of women from all Christian Traditions. EFECW was funded in 1982 in Gwatt Switzerland. It's main aims are:

  • to strengthen the ecumenical network of women
  • to help women to find the common European identity
  • to challenge women to action

This happens through educational workshops, meetings, publications about issues like: Ecumenical Learning, Political Learning, Management, Ethic-Ecological Training, projects of Reconciliation.

All women both on the European level as well as in the national committees work on voluntary basis. They are assisted by a part-time secretary in Brussels; a treasurer and a fundraiser working on remuneration.


 

  From 21 - 27 August, 2006 approximately 180 delegates of the 30 EFECW organisations, guests, delegates of partner organisation and international ecumenical Institutions met for the 7th General Assembly in the Training Centre of the Swiss Railway in Loewenberg, Murten, Switzerland.
