Over 100 people gathered to celebrate the Tibetan Women’s Association’s (TWA) 30th anniversary in Dharamshala. As well as speeches and debate, the celebration included a traditional Tibetan circle dance or GorShey. TWA’s origin was in Lhasa on March 12, 1959, when thousands of Tibetan women gathered to protest against the Chinese invasion and show their solidarity with the Tibetan National Uprising which had taken place two days previously.
