Peace Begins with Me!

IWPG traces its roots to the 1990s in Seoul, Republic of Korea, where women came together voluntarily to serve their communities and put peace into action. These grassroots efforts gradually grew into a global movement of women committed to peace, leading to the official establishment of the International Women’s Peace Group (IWPG) on September 24, 2013.

🕊️ Three-Step Pathway to Peace
Step 1
Developing Women as Peace Leaders
Women as Agents
"Peace is not a gift given to us by others. It is a capacity that begins within me."
Step 2
Strengthening Peace Action and Solidarity
Action as Culture
"When empowered women join hands, their peace actions grow into a powerful culture."
Step 3
Institutionalizing Peace
Peace as Institution
"We transform our collective action into lasting institutions that sustain peace."
IWPG works to create a path where peace begins with individual action,
grows into a culture within communities, and becomes embedded in institutions.
