Our 2019-2020 Annual Report

Posted in: Annual Reports • News
Although the coronavirus pandemic forced Women Cross DMZ to shift tactics this year, we made significant progress in building momentum toward ending the Korean War, the signing of a peace agreement, and women’s inclusion in the peace process. Our 2019-2020 Annual Report recaps our many accomplishments this year. Among the highlights:
- Launched an initiative with MADRE and Grassroots Global Justice Alliance calling for a new US foreign policy based on feminist principles of collective care, reparations, and sustainability.
- Organized a bipartisan roundtable in support of a peace agreement.
- Brought in the first Republican co-sponsor of House Resolution 152, which calls for a formal end to the Korean War and a peace agreement. There are now 52 members of Congress on record in support of a peace agreement to end the Korean War.
- Together with our coalition partners, sent a key policy education memo to presidential candidates outlining what a pro-peace, pro-diplomacy Korea policy should look like.
- Organized a series of monthly webinars that brought together thousands of people in critical reflection, study, story-sharing, and dialogue.
Looking to 2021, Women Cross DMZ will:
- Lead the coalition of national groups to advance a new bipartisan H.Res. 152 in Congress
- Release the Korea Peace Now! report “Path to Peace: The Case for a Peace Agreement to End the Korean War”
- Host virtual roundtables with Korean, diaspora, and international feminists
- Advance our Feminist Peace Initiative for a movement-driven feminist foreign policy
- Launch Young Korea Peace Feminists program to train and cultivate a new generation of activists
- Unveil our Question Bridge video project to facilitate intergenerational dialogue among our grassroots members
- Further grow our grassroots base in the US and with the Korea Peace Appeal campaign in South Korea
- Organize virtual screenings of the documentary Crossings about our transnational feminist peace movement
