What IPYG's Wish is Peace - A Thought about Peace

A Thought about Peace 1
    - After joining in the Peace Walk on May. 25th. 2014


Youth, Crying for Peace

The weather was not nice that day.
I thought the event would take place with a small number of people. However, when the appointed time comes, people came and the place became full.
The young were holding the placards which they had prepared with their interests.
Although those people were from different nations, different places, and had different ways of thinking, they want peace which was the same idea.

As we were walking, a woman with a baby on her back joined our march saying, ‘Young people come together and claim for peace, then I would like to support it for my children for the future.'    

We, the youth, and the women also know that we wish peace even though we don't say it. We want peace, and no war. We know that we don't go through a war around us, it doesn’t mean there is peace in the world. I heard that it was only 3 weeks for this world to be in the state of having no war. 
  
The innocent young people have been dying because of war. Why should we hate and hurt each other? Should we hand down it to our next generation as an inheritance?

We don’t have to be mean to others anymore.
We shouldn’t hurt each other anymore.
No more….
We shouldn’t make others cry.

To do so, we desperately need peace.
IPYG will cry for it until the tiny wishes in each person’s mind for peace are brought together and change the world.

The true peace is not to dream of it. 
It is something you should achieve.

IPYG: What is this group?

IPYG: What is this group?

Let's learn about it!! :) 

If you are interested in Peace or NGO groups, you might heard of IPYG. Someone got suspicious of it because it is a new organization.

What is IPYG and how was started?
IPYG (International Peace Youth Group) is a youth organization working for world peace and uniting all international youth. It’s formed from some groups of youth coming together with same idea of peace. They thought people should be able to understand across cultures, languages, borders and nationalities. It began with one of Korea’s largest volunteer group called MIYC and many groups had joined and became IPYG as now.

Why does it want the youth to be united?  
The youth are so powerful and energetic so they can do anything when they gather and make decisions together. Let’s assume that they all refuse to fight against one another. What would happen? Unless they want war all together, the war will be end. That’s why this group believe young people are so important to finish war.

What does it do?
It has made a partnership more than 130 different groups from 80 countries around the world. And it has meetings sharing ideas, and it holds Peace Walk in many places here and there to show the world that we love peace and need no more war.

Attempts to Connect Comfort Women with Peace, for Peace in History - ‘The Big Picture’


Attempts to Connect Comfort Women with Peace, for Peace in History 
The Big Picture


Title: The Big Picture
Cast: Yundeok Kwon, DalyeonSim, Tashima Seizo, Hamada Geico


Initial Release: 2012 (Republic of Korea)



I thought this movie, The Big Picture, would be interesting to watch because it is regarding to both comfort women and peace. How could anyone combine these two words? 
It stimulated my curiosity.





Some Japanese illustrators suggested to gather Korean, Chinese and Japanese illustrators and to publish a picture book regarding PEACE. It was because they had perception that peace can be achieved only if all the countries take part in, not just a country. Among them, an illustrator Yundeok Kwon took comfort women as its motif for peace.





The word comfort women shows how horrendous it was, and how cruel the war was. It came from the concept that women could be brought to serve soldiers under the war and from the false belief that it would bring about good results in the war. However, the fact that good results refer to killing someone is there for all to see. In this situation women had to follow the wherever the war took place. They had to go over the dead in the battlefields and again used to make the army move. They had no rights to be human beings but just to be sexual tools for men. How cruel it is. There were no human beings in the battlefield.
The history of comfort women shows one of cruel sides of the war. However, it has been not shown as it is. it used to be used as a political term. Japan supported Korea in 1980s. In return, it wanted to clear away the remnants of its colonialism. And the money went straight to the Korean government to develop and the women were not compensated anything

There is one more reason the women were ostracized. This problem showed the shameful history of Korea which is the history ruled by Japan. The moments that the people who did not have any choices but obeyed the Japanese laws, the reality that people who shared same blood should suppress each other, the people who had to join the other countrys army and left for war against their will.

We should remember that the remnants should not be meant everything cleaned up. Paying some money back should not be meant it is clearly finished the fact they slaughtered Korean indiscriminately. However, unfortunately, they do so in the name of law at that time

The war is so legal. It is so legal that the war can occur easily. People who are conservatism want to keep themselves, so the last solution they can make would be breaking out war. They will not allow the opponents to have power and the will cause war with their very legal laws.

Koreans have used this matter as a political issue. They have usually appealed their offensive feeling about it and inspired patriotism themselves. That is one of the things what Japan wants. It can bring war which means, those dividing ideas between Japan and Korea can cause a war.




This movie is giving you a difficult message in this matter. Since peace is opposite side of war, the war must be stopped. Ms. Sim, she is telling you the wars should never happen again. She knows how horrible situations a war brings. Having peace seems to be getting difficult as Japan seeks for the conservatism. It looks like there are no solutions. What can we do?







I would say that the only thing we can do is to remember and act according to what we have realized, which is the cruel and horrible memories that the war has brought us. I’ve learned it from the illustrator Yundeok Kwon who told that Korean soldiers had committed the same things; having ‘comport women’ in the Vietnam War in her book. She pointed out that it was not each individual person who should have been blamed but the war. And she tells about peace.




In that reason, I think the ‘The Big Picture’ should be published in Japan. The message of peace the illustrator is talking about starts from remembering the history. She doesn’t want her book causes the political issues since she didn’t draw it by focusing on the view of patriotism at all. Japanese students said they didn’t know about the comport women with confident voices. They said they have never heard of that. They don’t know how cruel a war can be. They don’t know their family and beloved people had to die because of war. They don’t know the sad stories someone lost his whole family members at once. They even know nothing about the women who were dragged to a strange land and played around by the soldiers just like dolls. They don’t know anything what horrible results the war will bring to them. That’s why the book must be published in Japan to instill the mind of peace to them by letting them know the history.






This book shows you how a person can die so easily in the name of war. Of course, the Japanese conservatism has problems and need to be changed somehow, but this book does not tell you to fight against it. It shows the problems of wars and tells you not to cause the cruel wars again and make the world peacefully.  

It’s not easy to do so. We need to make an effort to make it. We should know the history of war ourselves and let our neighbors know it. Let’s know, remember, and try to keep the peace. Those are the purposes of this book.

To Save a Million Is a God-Given Opportunity - Audrey Hepburn & UNICEF

To Save a Million Is a God-Given Opportunity - Audrey Hepburn & UNICEF

 
“To save a child is a blessing: to save a million is a God-given opportunity.”
 

This is one of the famous sayings of Audrey Hepburn and hit the headlines across all the newspaper of the world, and even became an inspiration for the global culture of donation. Audrey Hepburn, she carried out various activities for UNICEF even in her later years when her health had worsened. How was she related to UNICEF?
 
 
Audrey Hepburn was born in Brussels, Belgium. Her original family name was Ruston, but she got family name as 'Hepburn' because her father changed his first and last name a lot for his instability. After she became 6 years old, her mother and she had a wandering life in Netherlands and England apart from her father. Her family was not that poor in her childhood thanks to her mother's side and her mother's ability to support. However, their fortune began to ebb as Europe fell under the influence of the Nazis. At the time of the World War II, their poverty reached a boiling point, and Audrey Hepburn starved near to death. While this was happening, it was just United Nations International Children's Emergency Fund (hereafter UNICEF) that helped and saved her. This memory became the reason why she had actively carried out lots of activities for UNICEF.
 
 
She became a star overnight with a movie, ‘Roman Holiday’, though, she lived a reclusive life after her two unhappy marriages. However, she realized the fact that her reputation would help to raise a charity fund and started to join in UNICEF activities voluntarily.
 
 
She had taken full advantage of her reputation and popularity to raise fund for the relief activities, but she had never behaved herself as a star during serving activities. As a mother with two adorable children, she loved every child and felt deeply sad for dying children

 
If UNICEF went she followed them no matter where it was the wild, battlefield, or the infected areas even at age 60. She set to work with great eagerness as a goodwill ambassador of UNICEF and did not care the money though UNICEF only gave her a dollar a year except the travel budget and the room charge. Even she was not given her own office. Her passionful relief activities were saving many lives while her own health got worse. Under too tight schedule, not considering her age, sadness and emotional shock from the scene made her health deteriorated. Just before her visit to Somalia in September 1992 she had gotten some warning signals with her health. After coming back, she had to take some painkillers in order to deal well with many interviews and events to raise relief fund. Finally, she finished the work November 1992 and she was diagnosed with rectal cancer in an LA hospital. She had a surgery but the result of it was not good.
 
 
Only three months were allowed for the rest of her life. Further treatment became meaningless for her. After retiring, she came back to her hometown in Switzerland and spent the rest of her life with her family. At her last Christmas, she read her favorite poetry to her offsprings as if it was her last will.
    
 
 
"...Remember, if you ever need a helping hand, it's at the end of your arm, as you get older, remember you have another hand: The first is to help yourself, the second is to help others."
 
 
In January 1993 when she was 63 years old, Audrey Hepburn breathed her last as her family and her soul mate Robert Wolders looked on. She was laid in a knoll from which she might be able to look down her house in Switzerland, and people all over the world including her colleagues mourned over her death. Audrey Hepburn's passionate and sincere relief activities were carried on by giving 'Audrey Hepburn Peace Award' which UNICEF and Global Vision for Peace established.
