India is quickly becoming a first world economy. These changes are challenging India’s culture and traditions. Women are becoming more involved in the financial decisions of the family and many are reaping the benefits of the changes. However, there are still those who experience fewer rights than men within the family. Too often women are found to be abused in marriage arrangements and need refuge and tools to cope. IGF is involved in changing the lives of women and protecting their dignity.

Women’s ministry takes an active roll in counseling both, women in these situations and the teaching and encouraging of church leadership to be aware of the needs of women by providing a moral understanding of the important roll women play in the life of the church. IGM sponsors many women’s conferences through out the year to spread this help and understanding in the region. These traditions die hard but the work in women’s ministry needs to continue. Additionally, these conferences include insightful teaching for women in areas concerning children, family issues and biblical perspectives in building a strong and happy home.
