[IWPG] IWPG's Coastal Cleanup in Mokpo, Korea

Chairman ManHee Lee is the head representative of the global peace organization HWPL (Heavenly Culture, World Peace, Restoration of Light), which is striving for the enactment and implementation of the international peace law 'Declaration of Peace and Cessation of War (DPCW)'. The  DPCW is a legal instrument comprised of 10 articles and 38 clauses that can end wars and hostilities throughout the world. HWPL is also spreading a culture of peace and implementing peace education.

Chairman ManHee Lee experienced the cruelty and tragedy of war as a veteran of the Korean War. This is one of the reasons why he founded a global peace campaign as the head of HWPL. He has traveled the globe more than 35 times to meet and persuade politicians, legal experts, journalists, professors, peace activists, civil organization leaders, heads of tribes and others to unite them for the work of peace. The significant fruits borne out of his hard work are the World Alliance of Religions' Peace (WARP) Summit and HWPL Peace Committee. The DPCW was drafted and finalised by the HWPL Peace Committee.

How, you may wonder, do I know this? About 10 years ago, when I had just been discharged from military service, I came to know HWPL and Chairman ManHee Lee while researching the topic of civil conflicts to satisfy my curiosity in ongoing global issues. At that time, the island of Mindanao in the Philippines was suffering from a major civil conflict that lasted more than 40 years, and Chairman ManHee Lee and HWPL resolved this conflict through non-violent means.

Chairman Lee brought an end to the conflict in Mindanao by holding a peace talk between the warring Catholic and Islamic groups. Before the talk, HWPL and Chairman ManHee Lee held a Peace Walk to spread the culture of peace in Mindanao with the many locals who had gathered out of a desire for peace.

Chairman ManHee Lee's pressing appeal today is that humanity unites for sustainable peace in order to pass on the legacy of peace to future generations worldwide. He doesn't just talk peace, but has worked tirelessly for it through practical peace campaigns for over a decade.

I decided to become a supporter of HWPL and Chairman ManHee Lee's peace initiatives because I also desire a world of peace for all posterity.

Today I'd like to introduce an article regarding IWPG's Coastal Cleanup in Mokpo, Korea :)

IWPG Mokpo Branch Leads Coastal Cleanup

The International Women’s Peace Group (IWPG) Mokpo Branch, led by Director Kim Seon-a, organized a large-scale marine environment cleanup around the Mokpo Coast Guard pier. About 35 members participated in the initiative, which aimed to address the worsening impact of climate change on marine ecosystems and promote environmental stewardship. During the event, participants collected plastic, Styrofoam, and other waste materials that had accumulated along the waterfront. The activity highlighted the growing threat of rising sea temperatures and pollution to marine biodiversity. Local community leaders, including representatives from the Korean Red Cross and Mokpo Economic News, joined the effort, emphasizing the importance of collective action for environmental protection. IWPG framed the cleanup as part of its broader peace mission, stressing that environmental degradation is not only an ecological issue but also a root cause of global conflicts. Volunteers expressed hope that small, consistent actions could safeguard the ocean and contribute to a sustainable future. The Mokpo Branch announced plans to continue regular cleanup campaigns, aiming to expand citizen participation and support the city’s sustainable development and tourism. IWPG, an international NGO registered with the UN ECOSOC and DGC, operates in 122 countries with over 900 partner organizations, working toward global peace and equality.

IWPG Geoje and Ulsan Branches Expand Women’s Peace Education

The International Women’s Peace Group (IWPG) is strengthening its grassroots peace initiatives in South Korea through simultaneous education programs in Geoje and Ulsan, aimed at empowering women as leaders of peace. On April 4, the IWPG Geoje Branch held a completion ceremony for its first Women’s Peace Education course, which ran from March 14 to April 4. Twelve participants completed eight sessions covering themes such as Peace and Me, Peace and Culture, Women’s Role in Peace, and International Law and Peace. Graduates expressed that the program deepened their understanding of women’s importance in peacebuilding and inspired them to act within families and communities. A Peace Committee was formed among the graduates to continue IWPG’s activities locally. Branch Director Jang Deok-i emphasized that the program was designed not only to deliver knowledge but to nurture “peace leaders” who practice peace in everyday life.

Meanwhile, the IWPG Ulsan Branch launched its own Women’s Peace Education program on April 2, which will continue until April 30. The eight-session course began with the theme Peace and Me, encouraging participants to recognize the value of life and their personal role in peace. Park Haram, Deputy Director of Peace Education, highlighted that peace begins with self-understanding and valuing life, expressing hope that participants will grow into peace practitioners who positively influence families and communities.

Both branches’ initiatives reflect IWPG’s broader mission to realize sustainable world peace by expanding peace culture through education, cultural exchange, and advocacy for the Declaration of Peace and Cessation of War (DPCW). IWPG, headquartered in South Korea, is a global women’s NGO registered with the UN ECOSOC and UN DGC, with branches in 115 countries and partnerships with over 800 organizations.
