TJNWLiA NEWS ВБ1 EE WASHINGTON, D.C. by MOTRIA SLONIEWSKY, Vice President, Public Relations On Wednesday, September 22, 1999, UNWLA President Iryna Kurowyckyj and UNWLA Vice President for Public Relations Motria Sloniewsky traveled to Washington, D.C. for a series of meetings. Our first visit was to the Embassy of Ukraine, located on M Street within sight of the Key Bridge to Virginia over the Potomac River. At the Embassy, we were received by the Deputy Chief of Mission, the Honorable Dr. Bohdan Sokolowskyi, and Second Secretary Hennadi Nadolenko. Iryna Kurowyckyj briefed the Ukrainian officials about the general work of the UNWLA in the Untied States and in other countries, principally in Ukraine. She also expressed the grave concern of UNWLA members and other Ukrainians about the illegal trafficking in women and adolescents from Ukraine and other countries for prostitution. Options for addressing this problem were discussed, including the UNWLA's plans to petition the U.S. Department of Labor to change its policies to permit visas to be issued to young women from Ukraine, which would permit them to work legally in the United States for short periods of time, thus offering them an alternative to being victims of traffickers. Mrs. Kurowyckyj stressed that because the UNWLA is barred under its charter from engaging in lobbying activities, the organization's efforts are limited to providing information and to expressing concern about the issue to our elected representatives in Congress. At the end of the meeting, we presented out hosts with copies of various UNWLA publications, in cluding a copy of our 25th Convention Commemorative Book. From the embassy, we made our way from Georgetown to Washington's central district for a meeting of the General Federation of Women's Clubs. The Federation is an international organization of women's clubs whose membership encompasses 6,500 clubs in the United States and countless other clubs in more than 20 other countries. It counts a number of Ukrainian organizations among its members. The UNWLA has been an associate member of the Federation since 1948. The General Federation of Women's Clubs is headquartered in a charming 150-year old building 18 НАШЕ ЖИТТЯ”, ГРУДЕНЬ 1999 Видання C оюзу Українок A мерики - перевидано в електронному форматі в 2012 році .
