Tibetan Women’s Association started publishing the quarterly newsletter Voice in June 2006. TWA used to publish all of TWA and RTWA’s (Regional Tibetan Women’s Association) activities of the past 18 months in one publication of Dolma magazine. That raised the concern of Dolma magazine carrying very old information most of the time. Thus, TWA introduced the quarterly newsletter, which serves the purpose of highlighting TWA’s events of the past three months, and also highlights Regional Tibetan Women’s Associations and their recent activities.

Dolma magazine has been relaunched as a platform for Tibetan female writers to publish their work. We encourage Tibetan female writers to send us their work if they wish to utilize the platform. You can email your work to twa@tibetanwomen.org. Any Tibetan female living in Tibet or in exile are eligible to apply for a spot on the magazine, as are non-Tibetans and non-females if writing on the subject of Tibetan women.
