International Women’s Seoul Peace Symposium

Start: Thursday, May 24, 2018 9:30 AM

End: Saturday, May 26, 2018 1:00 PM

In partnership with the Women’s Peace Walk, a coalition of more than 30 women’s peace organizations in South Korea, we are convening an international delegation of thirty seasoned feminist peace activists from across the world, representing peace movements based in Canada, China, Colombia, Guam, Hawaii, Iraq, Israel, Japan, Kenya, Mongolia, Navajo Nation, Northern Ireland, Philippines, Russia, Sweden, United Kingdom, and the United States.

As a global community, we have a responsibility to help finally bring an end to the Korean War. The Korean people need our solidarity at this critical hour, and women’s peace movements will be working together to see through a Peace Treaty that formally ends the Korean War and ensure women’s inclusion in the peace process to build a just and feminist postwar Korea.

  • Candlelight Vigil at Gwanghwamun Square in Seoul
  • Seoul International Women’s Peace Symposium at the National Assembly
