The women in the
Republic of Korea held a march on July 4th with about 40 Japanese women
– from whom they had previously received the Charter and the quilt –
and a representative from the Philippines – to who they transmitted
those symbols of the relay.
They held a public conference on the theme "NO Poverty, NO Violence against Women, Women making Peace".
Here are some images of their parade around the City Hall in Seoul with 200 women and many citizens participating to it.
The Korean women
also tied together their purple scarves, danced and shouted. They
insisted: “We can build another world without exploitation, oppression,
or exclusion”.
