SEOUL, SOUTH KOREA – The International Women’s Peace Group (IWPG) kept busy in February, promoting peace education, building partnerships, and fostering a culture of peace through art.
Education and Advocacy Take Center Stage
IWPG facilitated peace education through its signature Peace Lecturer Training Education (PLTE) program. Online and in-person sessions trained women in various countries to become peace lecturers, empowering them to spread the message of peace within their communities.
Furthermore, the organization actively advocated for the adoption of the Declaration of Peace and Cessation of War (DPCW) by the United Nations. Lectures and educational sessions highlighted the DPCW as a crucial step towards achieving lasting global peace.
Partnerships for Progress
IWPG expanded its network of peace collaborators by signing Memoranda of Understanding (MOAs) with organizations in Cameroon and other countries. These partnerships will pave the way for joint peace projects and initiatives.
Connecting Women, Building Networks
The importance of collaboration was further emphasized by IWPG’s regular International Women’s Peace Network Meetings.
These gatherings brought together women peacebuilders from various countries, fostering connections and facilitating the exchange of ideas and experiences.
