Addis Ababa, August 18, 2024 (FBC) – The International Women’s Peace Group (IWPG, Chairwoman Hyun Sook Yoon) will host the International Women’s Peace Conference 2024 on September 19 in Gyeonggi-do, South Korea.

The conference will showcase examples of peace activities led by women leaders worldwide. Based on the improved peace outcomes from last year, IWPG will introduce peace action campaigns and encourage participation.

An IWPG official stated, “We have organized this event to show the development of peace activities. We plan not only to share actual examples but to provide direction so that this momentum continues.”

This year, through women leaders’ latest activities, the conference will present concrete and practical action plans to realize peace.
