Women’s Fellowship Development
The purpose of the Women’s Fellowship Development (WFD) committee is to encourage and support FD efforts within the Asia Pacific Zone, and raise awareness of and for women in recovery; amongst women, NA and all communities within the Asia Pacific Zone.
APF is the only NA zonal forum in the NA World with Women’s Fellowship Development. Many of our communities had few isolated or scattered women, or sometimes surprisingly no women at all. The idea of Women’s FD was born to connect women with one another, so they can draw strength & experience from each other.
In recent years, WFD has been working closely with Fellowship Development and Public Relations Workgroups to deliver on a combined message of inclusivity and unity.
