korea project

Women and Life on Earth wants to encourage and be part of international cooperation, thus it has been a pleasure to have a joint project with Korea Women's Associations United (KWAU), the largest coalition of progressive women's groups in South Korea.

From October 2005 through June 2006, our English editor in Berlin has worked with a translator and KWAU partner in Seoul, selecting, translating and editing statements from KWAU and the Korean women's movement to share with a world audience.

This project was made possible with the help of the Beautiful Foundation, which supports the culture of giving in Korea. Their many Beautiful Shops sell donated clothes and household items to help people in need. They also make donating easy: people can tell them where to direct their contribution, and see on the Foundation's website how the donation was used.

We are happy to offer these translations on our website and look forward to continued cooperation with our Korean friends.
