Not fewer than 500 women leaders from South Korea and other countries have gathered in Gyeonggi Province, to deliberate on “The Role of Women in the Implementation of the International Law on the Cessation of War and Achievement of World Peace”.
The forum was put together by Heavenly Culture, World Peace, Restoration of Light (“HWPL”) and the International Women’s Peace Group (IWPG).
Jin Lee, regional manager of HWPL said the forum was focused on highlighting the hearts of mothers who protect the youth. She urged the international community for a swift response to enact an international convention for peace, which is spearheaded by HWPL.
Nam Hee Kim, the chairwoman of the IWPG said in her opening speech:
“Mankind has made progress over progress, but almost no country is immune to war, and when it comes to peace, we are quite elementary… we can no longer let our children and families be taken away at once by wars.”
The motherly hearts of women are the birthplace – the womb – of peace-building. …The hearts of mothers have the power to stop aggression or conflicts and to keep peace.”
Chairman of HWPL Man Hee Lee, who is leading the making of an international convention for the cessation of wars and achievement of world peace, said:
“Seeing [the participants] at the Forum, it feels like all women are one family of IWPG.
“One day, when our children ask what did our fathers and mothers do, if we can answer we worked for the cessation of wars and for peace of the world by joining IWPG, that would be most valuable.”
“I ask all of you here today to embrace all 3.6 billion women of the global village and to bring the era of peace.
Speakers of the IWPG Network Peace Forum were HH Princess Maria Amor Torres, the President of We Care for Humanity; Li Yunhua, the CEO of Qin Heyuan Investment Ltd. Co. of LiaoNing Province, China; Almas Jiwani, the President of UN Women Committee Canada (UNWCC).
