Women Cross DMZ has educated millions
worldwide on the urgent need for peace in Korea
and women's leadership in the peace process
We have amplified our message on major global platforms, including at the United Nations, in the halls of the U.S. Congress, and at the Nobel Peace Summit, as well as in the headlines of every major news media. We have addressed thousands of people on college campuses, in churches, synagogues, community centers, bookstores, and private homes in more than 30 major cities worldwide.
We’ve released reports by global experts on topics such as how sanctions harm innocent lives, how a peace-first approach can resolve the security crisis on the Korean Peninsula, and how the Korean Peninsula has become the fault line for rising U.S.-China tensions. We’re harnessing the powerful documentary Crossings, by Emmy-award-winning filmmaker Deann Borshay Liem about our historic journey across the DMZ in 2015, to educate audiences about the impact of the unresolved Korean War and how women are building the political will for peace in Korea.
Through our Feminist Peace Initiative, with partners MADRE and Grassroots Global Justice Alliance, we engage diverse audiences about the need for a movement-driven US foreign policy that privileges the voices and experiences of those most impacted by US wars and militarism.
Using feminist framing that centers women’s voices and prioritizes inclusivity, sustainable development, and social justice, WCDMZ aims to open people’s minds and hearts that peace through step-by-step diplomacy is the only solution for resolving the Korean conflict.
“WCDMZ has injected new energy and vision into the struggle to end the division on the Korean peninsula and promote peace and security.”
