The British Korean Women’s Society is a recently formed organisation. It grew out of a series of requests for help and advice from Korean women in the UK, which were originally received by the ROK Embassy and forwarded on to people who the Embassy thought might be able to help.
The BKWS aims & objectives are:
- To share the British experience and knowledge with new members who have recently arrived in the UK.
- To address the issues concerning Korean women and their families in the UK.
- To promote communication and mutual understanding among Korean and British communities and to advance the cultural, economic and educational development of its members.
- To promote, preserve and contribute to Korean culture in Great Britain.
- To promote charitable work in order to give aid to Korean women and children
All women who support our objectives are welcomed to attend.
