The Women in Asia Conferences have been held every two years since 1981

regions, including those who are working on or in the region.

participants from various disciplines on a large number of themes 
concerning the lives of women in Asia. Participants are encouraged to 
submit proposals for panels if they wish. Deadline for submission is 
June 30, 2005.

Participants include academics and students; representatives of 
non-government organizations and other organizations involved in aid 
and development; artists and performers; and interested members of the 
general public. The conference will allow opportunities for networking 
and getting to know others.

The Theme of this year’s conference is “Shadow Lines”, which has to do 
with movement across borders, borders that may be understood in many 
different ways and in many different contexts.
