Women peace activists won’t cross inter-Korean border this year

Organizing committee announces plans for event on South Korean side of border this year

The successors to last year's WomenCross DMZ event will walk along the Southern side of the border on May 28, organizers said at the press conference on Tuesday in Seoul.

Last year the international team of the organizing committee held a border-crossing event with renowned female activists that received international attention. This year the group, calling itself the 2016 Women Peace Walk, will involve 32 women’s organizations based in South Korea who are leading the event in cooperation with the international team.
