New York: The International Women’s Peace Group (IWPG) Global Region 2, led by Regional Director Seo-Yeon Lee, actively participated in the 69th United Nations Commission on the Status of Women (CSW) held at UN Headquarters in New York. During the session, IWPG held a strategic meeting at the East Lounge with Dr. John A.K. Jingu, Permanent Secretary of the Ministry for Community Development, Gender, Women, and Special Groups in Tanzania.
The high-level dialogue focused on collaborative efforts for women-led peacebuilding and the realization of sustainable peace. Dr. Jingu expressed strong interest in IWPG’s core initiatives, including Women’s Peace Education, prevention of gender-based violence, women’s economic empowerment, conflict prevention, and peacekeeping. He also showed support for the upcoming 2025 International Women’s Peace Conference scheduled to be held in Korea this September, recognizing the potential for deeper cooperation.
