Job Description:
U.S. National Organizer\u00a0
Korea Peace Now! Women Mobilizing to End the War<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Women Cross DMZ (WCDMZ) is recruiting a part-time consultant for the position of a U.S. National Organizer with Korea Peace Now! Women Mobilizing to End the War. Start date October 1, 2019 for a period of one year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Background<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Four prominent feminist peace organizations\u2014Women Cross DMZ (WCDMZ), Nobel Women\u2019s Initiative, Korean Women\u2019s Movement for Peace, and Women\u2019s International League for Peace and Freedom (WILPF)\u2014have jointly launched Korea Peace Now–a campaign to formally end the Korean War between the United States and North Korea. Through education, advocacy and organizing, the campaign focuses on the United States, United Nations and select countries to urge them to shift their policies of \u201cmaximum pressure\u201d against North Korea towards one of engagement, genuine diplomacy, and lasting peace. Our campaign presents a critical opportunity to advance peace on the Korean Peninsula and also to redefine the U.S. national security discourse from a militarized one towards a feminist foreign policy built on genuine human security.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

WCDMZ was founded in 2015 when it led an international delegation of 30 prominent women peace activists including Gloria Steinem and Nobel Peace Laureates Mairead Maguire (N. Ireland) and Leymah Gbowee (Liberia) across the De-Militarized Zone (DMZ) from North to South Korea. WCDMZ walked with 10,000 Korean women on both sides of the DMZ on the streets of Pyongyang, Kaesong and Paju, and held women\u2019s peace symposiums in Pyongyang and Seoul on the urgency to end the Korean War. The Nobel Women\u2019s Initiative is a decade-old organization founded by six women Nobel Peace Laureates. Korean Women\u2019s Movement for Peace consists of four prominent women\u2019s organizations in South Korea–Korean Women\u2019s Association United, Women Making Peace, National YWCA of Korea, and Korea Women\u2019s Alliance. And Women’s International League for Peace and Freedom (WILPF) is the oldest women\u2019s peace organization in the world, dating from 1915. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
