JWIBA's first regular meetup of 2025 was held in collaboration with the non-profit organization @Wecolla!

The event focused on health issues facing women throughout their lives and provided many insights and learning opportunities.

The lecture deepened knowledge about the changes in a woman's body, from puberty to menstruation, pregnancy, childbirth, and menopause. In the workshop that followed, participants shared their concerns and questions about each topic and received advice from experts tailored to their individual concerns, making it a very fruitful day.

In addition, the networking session in the latter half of the event provided an opportunity for JWIBA, Wecolla members, and participants to deepen their interactions and make new connections.
