active participation in JC movement and expansion of women

For the women membership expansion, it is necessary for women
members to be "role model" by actively participating in JC
movement .
Women candidates for membership being in contact with the \"rolemodel\" are shown a vision, and it enables them to work actively inthe activities of JC after enrollment.
In addition, self-transformation of women members through JC
movements, by serving as officers actively and becoming active
citizen, lead to create a sustainable society.

It is considered to be that we had a chance to talk to2013 JCI President Chiara Mylani as well as to listen
to the speech in women\'s meeting held during Kyoto

JCI is a role model for women members and having
her as a speaker and discussing with her made it
possible for women members to have an empathy, selfconfidence, daring and connection with the world.
